Odor Control

SERVPRO of Newark sometimes uses antimicrobial products in our services. Antimicrobial simply means, against microorganisms. Microorganisms are life including, all forms of bacteria and their spores and fungi. We try to sanitize areas of the home that have been affected. Sanitizing reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms to a safe level. The safe level is determined from public health agencies. These treatments inhibit the growth of an organism. Sanitizing is different and should not be confused with sterilizing. Sterilizing is 100% effective, the highest level, of destroying all forms of microbial life.  Our technicians comply with applicable safety and training while applying. Our technicians also use proper protection equipment such as, gloves and/or eye protection while applying as well. We use SERVPRO products that have Safety Data Sheets.
