Using the
MoldCheck™
Mold Test Kits

The MoldCheck™ Mold Test Kit is an easy to use home and office mold testing system. One mold test kit film is opened in each room to be tested. After the one hour mold spore collection, just add the activating liquid droplet and press closed. Then simply count the mold spores colonies after 3-4+ days to find your high spore count rooms. Once you have found your high spore count rooms you have identified the room(s) with the most probable source of the mold contamination.

Surface Testing

Have you found the source of suspect mold growth and safely want to clean it up? - Then you want to use the Tox-Check Surface Mold Test Method and Clean-Up Guide.

Air/Dust Testing

If you suspect you have a source of hidden mold? Then you want to use the MoldCheck™ Mold Test Kit as a dust and airborne mold contamination investigation system. (See MoldCheck™ Kits #5, #10 and #15.)

The complete MoldCheck™ Mold Test Kits for Air and Dust include #5, #10 or #15 Mold Testing Setups which include:

Easy to use Test Kit instructions
Easy to use mold test films that collect and grow mold spores which are viewed and counted through the clear plastic cover
The Building Detective GuideTM which will help you search for hidden moisture and mold sources
A Mold Clean Up GuideTM
Surface - The Tox-Check Surface Mold Testing includes the surface test swab and instructions.

Here are the 3 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 and color as they grow to visible size on days 3, 4, 5+. The 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 (5 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 (3 days) 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 and track down sources of indoor mold spores and perhaps lower your frequency of "allergic building episodes" and medication needs at home or work.

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.
