Abstract
A wall-mounted housing encloses a blower, an antiseptic solution holder, an atomizer pump, and a timer-switch assembly. A front-mounted actuator bar initiates a timer which starts the blower and pump. The atomizer delivers antiseptic solution into the blower discharge for delivery of a vapor mist through the nozzle to the hands of the user for a pre-determined period of time established by the timer. Then the atomizer is shut down by the timer and the blower continues to operate for another predetermined period to dry the hands.
