Mold Check™ Whole House Mold Testing
 Mold Check™ Mold Detection Kits are new indoor mold detection, toxic black mold testing,
mold investigation, and black mold clean-up kits that help you track down,
prove and
clean-up mold contamination in your house. The toxic black mold testing films in these toxic black mold test kits will
determine the relative level of mold spores in the air in each room, on
surfaces in the house,
apartment or office,
and help you find the location of the leak or other moisture
problem in the
building. This will help you find the toxic black mold
contamination, without the need for the services of a
toxic black mold detection expert or testing laboratory. These are
do-it-yourself toxic black mold testing and mold detection kits.
Surface Mold Testing
Have you already found the source of suspect mold toxic black or toxic mold growth and want to
identify it?
- Then you want to use the Do-It-Yourself Tox-Check™ surface mold testing kit or the optional Tox-Check™ Mold Testing Labs service.
Air/Dust Whole House Mold Testing
If
you suspect you have a
source of hidden black or toxic mold? Then you want to use tools in the MoldCheck™
Mold Testing Kit as a dust and airborne mold detection
inspection system. (See
MoldCheck™ Kits #5, #10 and #15.)
The MoldCheck™ Mold Testing Kits can help find the
indoor source of your mold allergy and guide the mold remediation of the contaminated area.
Mold Contamination Symptoms: Ongoing research is finding strong
relationships between indoor mold contamination and the
following health symptoms:
How do the mold testing kits work?
The MoldCheck™ Mold Testing Kits
use high-tech mold testing films (not Petri dishes or poured
liquids) to sample the air or surfaces for toxic black mold spore
contamination. This NEWLY patented, "do it yourself" mold testing technology enables you to detect the relative levels
of indoor mold spores in the various rooms in your house and
compare them to each other in order to find the room with the
hidden contamination. You can also prove what you have
found growing on a surface is live mold or toxic black mold by using the Toxic Mold Screening Method in this Mold Testing Kit™.
How do you find hidden toxic black mold?
The MoldCheck™ Mold
Testing Kits have three simple steps to track down
hidden mold.
-
You
test all your rooms at the same time so you can compare
them;
You
identify the rooms with the highest toxic black mold spore counts.
Then using the Kit's Investigation Guide, conduct a thorough
investigation for black mold contamination, water leaks and
condensation in the high count room, and
-
You clean up mold contamination using the Clean Up
Guide to prepare a safe mold cleanup plan.

Toxic Black Mold Sceening Kit
- Each Mold Testing Kit comes with a surface mold collection swab and instructions on how to screen your sample to see if you have black mold, which is potentially the toxic black mold "Stachybotrys." |
Kit Uses - the MoldCheck™ Mold Test Kits can be used 4 ways:
-
Test all of the rooms in your house or apartment
at the same time, in order to find the
room with the highest mold spore count and the most likely
location of the contamination.
- Cleanup / Re-Test - after you have found toxic black mold and cleaned it up you
can use the mold testing film to re-test and see how clean the
surface is.
- Filter Monitoring: You
can also use the kit to monitor how effectively
your air filtering system is working in each of your rooms.
-
Surfaces
- use the film with a swab sampler to prove what
you found is live
mold or toxic black mold, "Stachybotrys."
Toxic Black Mold/Laboratory Confirmation Testing:
Toxic Black Mold Testing in a laboratory:
If you want to indentify the scientific name of the suspect toxic black mold and other molds you have detected using the MoldCheck™ Toxic Black Mold Testing Kit, you must send one sampling swab to a qualified mold testing environmental microbiology laboratory.
The kit includes a sampling swab to send to the mold testing lab. Generally the laboratory testing industry charges from $20.00 to $100.00 depending on the type of identification you choose. The Tox-Check™ Lab fee is $29.95 only if you choose to send in the swab for indentification.
However, the various federal environmental and health agencies
(see Links) suggest that if you can
see mold growth, you don't need to identify its name to see if it is a toxic mold
unless your allergist or lawyer wants to know. Just clean
the mold up - all of it and dry the area as soon as possible! (see our Mold Clean Up page)
Health Effects:
It is universally agreed in the environmental field that there
is a general negative health impact to living in any type of
indoor moldy environment. Regardless of whether it is a toxic type or
not, excessive indoor mold spores can make you feel "sickly."
"Katrina Cough" is the name given by patients and doctors to the persistent cough and mold allergy symptoms caused by suspected house mold or toxic black mold and mildew, or other dusty household mold, after Hurricane Katrina flooded their homes and work places.
"Katrina cough" is not caused by any bacterial or viral infection, but rather seems to be the result of the persistent and powerful irritants found in the dusty, moldy buildings left behind by Hurricane Katrina or any major flooding event.
Conclusion:
Once you have found a source of toxic black mold, you don't need more than
one test to check it out or identify it - just safely
clean it up and dry the area out. See our
Mold Clean Up Guide™ for more
information. All molds, including toxic mold, are cleaned up
the same way with
multiple applications of inexpensive sanitizers and
detergents, and drying up the moisture condition.

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
We have determined from reviewing the scientific literature and professional experience of the air testing industry, that very few "toxic"
Stachybotrys mold spores become airborne since they are usually wet and sticky. Therefore we only offer the surface swab lab testing.
