If you’ve ever paid attention while in a public restroom, you’ve likely seen the dribbles of water as people make their way from the sink to the towel dispenser. In several settings, that could be across the room or far enough away that water on the floor becomes a problem.
Dyson has attempted to solve this problem with dryers that are built into the faucet. Whether to prevent dripping, to increase sanitation, or just for pure convenience they have combined handwashing and drying all in one device. Love it!
I’ve washed my hands thousands of times but never considered treating it as one step. Maybe there is a lesson there to pay attention to other multi-step processes to see if there is an opportunity to combine them. It doesn’t have to be a physical product — think of the driver’s license renewal that also serves as organ donation registration — but a way to add convenience to all involved. You’re all wet if you think everything must be done separately.
