EASY STEPS to a
MoldCheck™
air or surface test!
|
Air Testing |
|
Surface Testing |
Stir-up the air in each room. Then open one test film
in each room. (*See note about respiratory protection.) |
 Wipe the swab
onto the surface to be tested. Then wipe the swab between the films in the
pattern of an "x". |
After one hour of collection, squeeze the activating liquid between the films
and press closed. |
Squeeze the
activating liquid between the films and press closed. |
Example of high air count.
Count mold spore colonies as they grow to visible size on days 3, 4 and 5. |
Example of gross surface contamination.
Check the mold colonies as they grow
to visible size on days 3, 4, 5+. The #3
Surface Kit explains how to interpret test results. |
NOTE: Air Testing
*It is important to stir up mold spores which have settled out
of the air. You will use a small towel, newspaper or similar instrument to briefly fan the air (15
seconds) on the floor of the area to
be tested. If you don't
do this you will almost always obtain a false (low) collection of the overall
spore load in the room, since most mold spores settle out like dust within one
hour. Of course - wear a face dust mask if you have a respiratory
condition like you would if you were doing heavy cleaning.
Indoors
Test your rooms. After 72 hours count the visible spore colonies on each of your indoor test films.
Organize your rooms from the lowest to the highest counts. If there is a source of indoor mold growth, it is usually
in or right next to the room with the highest mold spore count. Go to the area with the highest spore count and begin
your search for a source of mold contamination and moisture intrusion using "The Building Detective Guide™."
Outdoors:
(Optional) The outdoor spore count provides a background reference count. During
the outdoor growing season (above 50° F) outdoor mold spore counts will almost always be
much higher than indoor counts, in a closed air-conditioned building. Outdoor mold spore settling counts can range from zero in the winter to over 400 spores
per hour in the growing seasons of spring, summer and fall. Outdoor sampling is
optional.
Using this new MoldCheck™ Mold Test Kits will help you detect,
track down and eliminate excessive indoor mold spores and
perhaps lower your frequency of allergic episodes and medication needs at home or work.
MoldCheck™ Kits
"as good as it gets"
in do-it-yourself mold testing, mold detection, mold remediation, mold removal, toxic mold screening, and black mold education.
Purchase Orders from Schools or Government Agencies are accepted.
Mold Identification/Laboratory Testing
If your surface test confirms you have mold contamination and
you want to have the mold identified, send the mold
sampling swab to a "specialized testing laboratory." For a separate fee,
this specialized laboratory can conduct microscopic identification of all the
molds on your
sample. You can send swabs to Home Health Science too! Check the kit for instructions.
