“The floor under the dryer is always wet and there’s black stuff in the vents. I stopped using it months ago.”
“You can actually see the water spraying off and misting the whole room. I filmed it because no one believed me.”
“I work here and clean the restrooms. The dryers are the worst part. No matter how much I wipe down, the wall under them grows mold back within days, and the floor is slick every morning. I always wondered why the air felt thick in there. After reading this I get it. I’m printing the one-pager and giving it to my manager whether they like it or not.”
“Mold ring on the wall right under the unit. Took thirty seconds to find once I looked.”
“Watched a parent dry a toddler’s hands and the kid started coughing. I used to think these things were the ‘green’ choice. Now I carry a small towel.”
“Slow-motion of the spray. It goes everywhere — the mirror, the counter, you.”
“The whole department restroom smells musty and only by the dryer. Sent a photo of the buildup on the grille. It’s genuinely disgusting once you notice.”
“Standing water under the dryer every single day. Now I know it’s not just water.”
