Apart from Mike's & Frank's ; Doug, let's take the work personally :

Imagine the 2M picture :
There is Doug, justly frrreshly pooped from clean bath , ready for drying .
Presses button ; comes out AN AIR GUN ,
which with the below mentioned deafening noise commences it's task with
pitiful efficiency and truckloads of entailed negatives .
Happy ? No ?

Ok , lets have 3M picture :
As above , Doug whistles high C voice command , and, viola, the LARGE DIA
CENTRIFUGE WITH FILTER,
aka common kitchen window fan , with variable speed to validate the optimal
VOLUME flow,
commences it's task .
Doug is dry in seconds (60 of 'em), ready for his favorite "watering" hole .

"do not to others you'd whish not to yourself"

amen

PS
yes emitting needle spicing the air with occasional ozone molekule won't
hurt.
Desist the lavender oil capillary .

I would be far more concerned about the oil and other contaminants you are
blowing onto the assembly.
