Once the test is complete does the analysis include recommendations for elimination if mold is found in the sample?

No, the test simply identifies the levels of certain mold/ mildew levels in home and identifies them. The home owner will then know whether or not further action is needed.

Yes, you will use a swab to gather the dust, which is a longer than a Q-tip. The test kit only has one test in it. You will have to send away the other samples to the company that does the analysis for an additional fee.

If you're cleaning a little bit of mold off of the surface of window sill, you don't need a respirator. Spray or scrub on some hydrogen peroxide, and let sit for 10 minutes. Scrub with white vinegar, then vinegar and baking soda. Wash as usual. You can use bleach, but it may discolor paint/stain. This will only address _surface_ mold. If the mold has taken root behind the window casing, sill, or under the stool different measures are needed.

Hello. You can use either way but alone if you want the results listed on it's label. Best product I have ever used for removal of mold toxins. I tried many after finding a contaminated hvac system...

Yes, mold would be classified as a small particle, the readout counts large and small particles, it will measure them but wouldn't distinguish between mold and other small particles. You might let some dust settle on a glass plate and check with a microscope.

If this was an issue, wouldn't the manufacturer have taken all that into consideration when testing the product? To me using common sense care would go along way to protecting from moisture. Such as the angles at which the probes are placed inside and method of cleaning.

I believe I read something in the information sent with the mold kit that if you need more you can send off for it. Read the papers that accompanied your kit thoroughly, it should mention what to do if that happens.

I am allergic to mold and since using the item have felt a lot better. I think if used with the right filter will do a pretty good job.

It helps eliminate moisture in an enclosed area. Not sure about stopping mold; don't think so.

It will kill mold spores, but won't remove the dead mold that is still there. Still has to be wiped or removed. But if it's dead and you can't get to it, still worth it.

Short answer is 'No' results immediately after the test. It's $35 per sample for lab analysis. This kit comes with two airborne collection sample 'cassettes' and 1 surface sticker sampler. If you submitted all three it's $105 for lab analysis. You can pay $15 more per sample for expedited processing. Big note!: the only way you can get any kind of results is by sending these samples into the My Mold Detective lab (and paying $35 per). This is unlike the petri dish kinds that at least show you (after 48-96 hours) if you have mold or not, and if you do, then you send the dish to lab for analysis.

No. We have used this product for the last eight months every day and had no problems with mold.

It has a carbon based prefilter but if the cause is mold or mildew you will have to remove it first.

Agreed, mold can develop if you let it wet for too long. However, I do recommend this product. Have been using it for some months now and no complains.

I have been tested for mold toxins and a doctor told me to use this product. He said it does kill mold and to use it as a disinfectant as well. I spray it everywhere including my rugs.

It removed the mold from the air of my home. I did take it one step further and removed the air filters from my air ducts, turned off the heat and a/c, but made sure the fan was set to "on". I also used their Biocide 100 cleaning solution on as many surfaces as I could get to. It worked GREAT, and was a heck of a lot cheaper than those so-called mold eradication service people. I hope this helps!

Yes, it clears it's self from any alcohol left after the last test, but change the mouth piece or wash it.
