Green Remediation: Non-Toxic Products We Use (and Why)
More and more homeowners are asking the right question: What are you using to clean my home? At Upper Restoration, we believe that restoring a property shouldn’t come at the cost of your health — or the planet’s. That’s why we’ve made a commitment to green remediation.
Here’s how we ensure your restoration is clean, safe, and sustainable — from the products we use to the certifications we carry.
Why ‘Green’ Matters in Restoration Work
Traditional remediation products often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harsh disinfectants, and industrial solvents. While these chemicals are effective, they can leave behind residues, odors, and even long-term exposure risks.
That’s especially concerning for:
- Children and elderly residents
- Immunocompromised individuals
- Pets
- Homes with limited ventilation or HVAC recirculation
Green remediation products eliminate many of these concerns by using biodegradable, non-toxic, and low-impact formulas — without compromising effectiveness.
Our Product Philosophy: Safety First
We’ve tested and selected products that are:
- EPA-registered for safety and effectiveness
- Biodegradable and break down without polluting your indoor air
- Low-VOC or VOC-free
- Free of bleach, ammonia, and synthetic fragrances
- Safe for porous and nonporous surfaces alike
These products are used throughout our water damage, mold remediation, and fire cleanup projects.
Where We Use Non-Toxic Solutions
- Mold remediation: Plant-based antimicrobials that kill mold spores without adding toxins to the air
- Fire damage cleaning: Non-toxic soot removers that neutralize smoke odors safely
- Flood sanitation: Green disinfectants to remove pathogens from walls and floors
- HVAC cleaning: Safe foggers and filters for vents and air returns
In most jobs, we’re able to fully restore your space using nothing more than our green product line and industry-standard tools.
Certified and Compliant — Without Harsh Chemicals
We work with products and processes that meet or exceed:
- Green Seal® standards
- EPA Safer Choice certifications
- New York State Department of Health guidelines
- OSHA and IICRC protocols
These standards aren’t optional — they’re part of our core operating values.
