Antimicrobial treatment means one thing: eliminating microorganisms that disinfectants alone can't touch. Bacteria, mold spores, odor-causing pathogens — if they're living in your carpet, walls, or air system, a standard cleaning won't cut it. Our GREEN Antimicrobial treatment is specifically designed to disinfect, kill, and deodorize at the source, so your space doesn't just look clean — it smells FRESH and stays that way. Presto Restore's certified technicians are available 24/7. Call 763-443-8184 and we'll get started.
The process isn't one-and-done. Our certified technicians apply as many applications of our GREEN treatment as necessary until every microorganism is gone. No shortcuts. The scope and number of treatments depends on the size of the affected area, the type of contamination, how long it's been present, and whether it's reached porous materials like drywall, carpet padding, or wood subfloor. Heavily affected spaces — especially those with water damage history or persistent odor — take more work, and we don't walk away until the job is finished. Every job is different — contact Presto Restore for an accurate estimate.
What Our GREEN Antimicrobial Treatment Actually Does
Most products mask odors. Ours eliminates what's causing them. The GREEN Antimicrobial treatment Presto Restore uses is non-toxic and biodegradable, which matters in a home with kids, pets, or anyone with chemical sensitivities. It doesn't just sit on the surface — it penetrates porous materials to reach the microorganisms that are actually producing the smell and the health risk. Paired with our structural drying work after water damage, it stops mold colonies before they establish. We won't sell you a single spray and call it done. We apply as many treatments as the space requires.
Six Things Our Antimicrobial Treatment Handles
Here's what the treatment addresses in a single service visit:
Mold Spores
Targets airborne and surface mold spores — critical after any moisture event. Pairs with our mold remediation work.
Pet Odors
Breaks down the organic compounds that create persistent pet smells in carpet and upholstery.
Post-Flood Contamination
Water carries bacteria into flooring and walls. Antimicrobial treatment after water extraction is not optional — it's the part that makes the restoration last.
Air System Contaminants
When paired with air duct cleaning, treatment prevents recontamination through the HVAC system.
Smoke and Fire Residue Odors
Neutralizes the microscopic particles that carry smoke odor long after the visible soot is removed.
Our Treatment Process: What Happens When We Show Up
We start by assessing where contamination is present — not just where it's visible. Microorganisms don't stay where the water stopped or where the smell is strongest. Our certified technicians identify the full affected area first, then apply the GREEN Antimicrobial treatment systematically, working from the perimeter inward. We let each application penetrate fully before evaluating whether another pass is needed. We work non-stop until your space is safe and ready to be lived in again. If mold is a concern, we'll coordinate that assessment in the same visit so nothing gets missed.
When You Need Antimicrobial Treatment vs. Standard Cleaning
Standard carpet or surface cleaning handles dirt and surface-level stains. Antimicrobial treatment is the right call when the problem is biological — meaning something is actually growing, multiplying, or producing odor from inside the material. You need it after any flooding or sewage backup, after a mold discovery, when pet odors have persisted through multiple cleanings, when someone in the home has been ill with a contagious infection, or after fire and smoke damage where residue has settled into porous surfaces. Honestly, if you've cleaned something twice and the smell comes back, that's a sign you're dealing with a microbial issue, not a cleaning issue. That's what we're here for.
The Presto Restore Approach: What Sets This Work Apart
We don't subcontract this work. The certified technician who answers your call is the person who shows up. We use a portable cleaning and treatment system, which means no large hoses running through your building and no disruption to the rest of your space during treatment. The GREEN products we use are biodegradable and non-toxic — that's not a marketing claim, it's a product choice we made because it's safer for the homes we work in. And we back our work: if the odor or contamination returns within 7 days, we come back. We take our cues from you, and we don't consider the job done until you do.
Frequently Asked Questions About Antimicrobial Treatment
What does an antimicrobial mean? +
Antimicrobial means active against microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold spores. An antimicrobial treatment doesn't just clean a surface; it kills the living organisms on and within it. Our GREEN Antimicrobial treatment is applied to penetrate porous materials like carpet, padding, and drywall, where standard disinfectants can't reach. The result is a space that's genuinely decontaminated, not just wiped down.
What is the hardest infection to get rid of? +
In home environments, black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) and Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) are among the most persistent. Both can survive on surfaces for extended periods and resist standard household cleaners. C. diff in particular requires a sporicidal-grade treatment, and black mold requires full physical removal of contaminated material plus antimicrobial treatment of surrounding areas. Don't attempt either without professional help — surface cleaning alone won't eliminate them.
What are examples of antimicrobials? +
Common antimicrobials include bleach (sodium hypochlorite), hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds, and essential oil-based formulations. The GREEN treatment Presto Restore uses is a biodegradable, non-toxic formulation — it's effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms without the chemical harshness of bleach-based products. That makes it safe for homes with children, pets, and anyone with respiratory sensitivities.
Which spice kills bacteria? +
Oregano oil, clove oil, and cinnamon all have documented antibacterial properties, primarily from compounds like carvacrol, eugenol, and cinnamaldehyde. They're effective in lab settings against certain strains, but they're not substitutes for professional antimicrobial treatment in a contaminated home. Essential oil concentrations in household products are far too low to eliminate a mold colony or post-flood bacterial load. Real decontamination takes a lot more than spice.
How many antimicrobial applications does a typical treatment take? +
There's no fixed number. The area size, material porosity, contamination type, and how long the problem has been present all affect how many applications are necessary. A fresh pet odor in one room might need a single treatment. A basement that flooded two weeks ago before the homeowner called us might need three or four applications across multiple visits. Our certified technicians apply as many as necessary — we don't charge extra to do the job right.
Will antimicrobial treatment affect my carpet or flooring materials? +
The GREEN Antimicrobial treatment Presto Restore uses is specifically formulated to be safe on carpet fibers, upholstery, and most hard surfaces. It won't bleach or discolor treated materials when applied correctly. Drying time after treatment is typically 1 to 2 hours, similar to our carpet cleaning service. We'll tell you exactly what to expect before we start.
