What is Antimicrobial?

“Antimicrobial,” when broken down into its word parts, means “against microscopic life forms.” An antimicrobial substance is one that kills or delays the growth of microorganisms such as mold, bacteria, or viruses. When we use antimicrobial cleaners, the surface not only looks clean but is free of pathogens.

• When the professionals at Twin Home Experts perform mold remediation in your house or basement, one of the reasons our treatment is so effective is because we use antimicrobial chemicals. These cleaning products not only kill and remove the mold from surfaces, but they also leave behind a protective barrier that prevents new fungi from growing.
• In addition to these cleaning products, your team will remove all sources of moisture and dehumidify the air. Mold and mildew can’t live without water.
• The last step of the antimicrobial process is purifying the air through the use of “air scrubbing” machines. These machines remove all traces of odors and pull microscopic fungi spores and toxins from the air as well.

Our antimicrobial process prevents mold growth by:

• Killing and removing existing mold.
• Depositing a barrier of antimicrobial chemicals that crushes mold spores and prevents new growth.
• Removing water sources, without which mold will die.
• Removing all mold particles and spores from the air.

We have the know-how and equipment to find the mold and eradicate it no matter where it’s lurking. Although you might consider trying to remove mold yourself using heavy-duty cleaners like bleach, there are places in basements, crawl spaces, walls, and crevices that you’ll be unable to reach without the proper machines.

Our air scrubbers can pull microscopic particles from places we can’t see or contact with our hands. We’ll also do an antimicrobial cleaning of your HVAC system, ensuring that mold won’t circulate throughout the house. With Twin Home Experts, you’ll get professional, same-day service and a safe, mold-free home. Contact us today!
