Bill Coy from Sensible Life Products, makers of Benefect Botanical Disinfectant, explained how to read EPA-registered product labels and use environmentally safe products made for cleaning and restoration contractors.

Slade Smith with Bio-Reveal discussed the future of real-time microbial testing, while SCRT Georgia Chapter President Cara Agerbeck from Abatement Technologies presented information to members on portable air scrubber technology and the importance of using air filtration devices on restoration projects.
