Why are biocides used in restoration processes?

Biocides are used in restoration processes primarily to kill harmful microorganisms effectively. This includes bacteria, mold, and other pathogens that may pose a health risk to humans and animals. During restoration work, especially following water damage or incidents of mold growth, ensuring the thorough elimination of these microorganisms is crucial for restoring a safe and healthy environment.

While other factors such as aesthetics and cost might be considerations in restoration, they do not directly relate to the primary function of biocides. Compliance with local laws may also be a factor in selecting methods and materials for restoration, but it is secondary to the main purpose of using biocides, which is to provide effective microbial control and ensure safety in affected areas.
