This article breaks down the science of physical removal in restoration, including techniques, surfactants, and extraction for contamination control.

Disinfection remains one of the most misunderstood tools in the restoration industry. Emily Dodds breaks down what EPA-registered disinfectants actually do, where they fail, and why cleaning, not chemistry, determines whether projects pass verification and avoid callbacks. 

Cleaning, not just disinfection, is the key to reducing exposure and achieving true results in the restoration industry.
