How to Collect Samples Using Regular Household Tape:

• Click sample Submittal form and print our easy-to-use instructions (if you cannot print, provide the information required on a blank sheet of paper).
• Wear some gloves (if necessary).
• Cut approximately 2-3 inches of clear scotch tape.
• Hold tape at one end and place sticky side down onto the surface with visible mold growth and press gently.
• Remove tape and stick it without folding onto a plastic bag (e.g.,ziplock bag).
• Number each tape and identify the locations sampled. For example:
  • Tape 1: Basement, east wall.
  • Tape 2: Windowsill, master bedroom.
  • Tape 3: Ceiling tile, kitchen.
• Enclose samples in an envelope or bag.

(NOTE: More than one type of mold may be present. If several sites show visible mold growth (with different discolorations), it is advisable to take more than one sample.)
