Wash, Rinse, Dry in One Place: How XLERATORsync Is Changing the Restroom

Excel Dryer’s global survey confirmed what facility teams already see every day: restroom cleanliness and hygiene directly affect how people judge a business. In the U.S., 80% of surveyed consumers said they would not or might not return to a restaurant or hotel with a dirty restroom, and paper towels on the floor or overflowing from trash bins ranked as leading signs of a dirty restroom. Today's commercial restrooms are held to a higher standard. Cleanliness is the baseline but users also notice whether the space feels thoughtful, efficient, and easy to move through. Facility managers, meanwhile, are under pressure to cut operating costs, reduce maintenance demands, and meet rising hygiene expectations.

The D|13 Sink System featuring the XLERATORsync® hand dryer addresses these needs at the sink. By combining soap, water, and drying at a single point at the sink, this sink-mounted system allows users to wash, rinse and dry without walking across the restroom with wet hands. The result is better flow, a cleaner environment, and a seamless restroom experience that supports users, facility teams and design goals.

What Is XLERATORsync?

The XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer is Excel Dryer’s sink-mounted hand dryer, designed to integrate directly into the sink deck as part of the D|13 Sink System in the United States. Rather than mounting a dryer on the wall and sending users across the room after washing their hands, the system keeps the full handwashing sequence at the sink: soap, rinse and dry..

Developed by Excel Dryer, the system is sensor-activated and uses a reverse-airflow mechanism that redirects air and water back into the basin. That means less moisture on floors and counters, reduced slip hazards, and a restroom that stays cleaner between cleanings. It is a straightforward solution to a common restroom problem: keeping water, traffic and waste under control.

Why Seamless Flow Matters

Restroom friction usually starts with small moments: a line at the sink, a walk to the wall dryer or paper towels collecting on counters and floors. In high-traffic facilities, those small moments quickly become maintenance issues and user complaints.

With everything integrated at the sink, users stay in one place from start to finish. That helps reduce congestion, keeps traffic moving and supports a cleaner presentation throughout the day.

At a venue like Gillette Stadium, where restroom traffic spikes in short windows,  anall-in-one wash, rinse, dry station can make a visible difference. It keeps people moving, reduces congestion in premium spaces, and cuts down on the wet floors and discarded paper towels that make a restroom look neglected minutes after it was cleaned.

Hygiene You Can Measure

Because the system is fully sensor-activated, users complete the entire handwashing process without touching multiple surfaces. That reduces cross-contamination at every step.

The XLERATORsync also incorporates electrostatic HEPA filtration - eHEPA® - which removes 99.999% of viruses and 99.97% of bacteria from the airstream. Combined with the reverse-airflow design that helps keep moisture in the basin, The system supports enhanced restroom hygiene without adding extra steps for the user.

The Operational Case

Switching from paper towels to an integrated dryer system can reduce restroom operating costs by up to 95%. That figure accounts for reduced purchasing, eliminated restocking runs, lower waste removal frequency, and less janitorial time spent managing towel overflow.

For high-traffic facilities - stadiums, airports, restaurants, entertainment venues - those savings compound quickly. Fewer paper towels also mean less waste on floors, fewer overflowing trash bins and a cleaner-looking restroom between scheduled cleanings.There's also a sustainability dimension worth noting: eliminating paper towels reduces landfill contributions and the environmental footprint tied to paper production and transport. For projects pursuing LEED® credits or WELL Building Standard points, integrated sink systems featuring XLERATORsync are worth including in that conversation.

Designed for the Space, Not Just the Function

XLERATORsync is built for restrooms where performance and design both matter. Adjustable speed, heat, and sound settings let facility teams calibrate performance to the environment, whether that's a quiet upscale hospitality venue or a loud public arena.

A patent-pending sound suppression system keeps noise levels down, and an externally visible service LED simplifies maintenance without requiring staff to open the unit to check status. Paired with a D|13 Group integrated sink, the result is a clean, customizable profile that supports a wide range of design specifications.

The Integrated Restroom Is Already Here

Commercial restroom design is moving toward touchless, integrated systems that are easier to use, easier to maintain and easier to keep clean. XLERATORsync is already delivering that in restaurants, stadiums, and commercial facilities across the country.

If you're specifying or evaluating restroom solutions for your next project, start at the sink. The D|13 Sink System featuring the XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer brings soap, water and drying together in one cohesive fixture for a more hygienic, sustainable and cost-effective restroom experience.
