Lead Test Kit: 30 Swabs Accurately Formulated Lead Paint Test Kit at Testing for Dishes Paint Cups Ceramics Toy and All Surfaces - Results in 30 Seconds Lead Detector

I bought these to test for lead in our new house. The house was built 1900s, so lead exterior paint was likely used in the past and may be in the soil. I took soil samples and used these swabs to check for lead. Very easy to use, and showed no lead for peace if mind. An improvement may be to include a swatch with a small amount of lead to do a control positive test to confirm effectiveness of the swabs. I'll likely do a control test and update with results.

Super simple to use and works like a charm. Comfort in knowing what has or doesn't have lead paint. Great value for the money and if you are worrying about lead in dishware, etc., this is highly recommended.

These didn’t work for me. When I dipped the swab in vinegar, it briefly turned a pale, splotchy yellow, but that color faded back to white before the 30-second test period was over. I tried 3 swabs on 3 different surfaces, but none turned any color except white.

A friend decided to buy an older home to restore and asked for my help. Specifically asking for help in checking for asbestos and lead. I ordered this test kit because it is easy to use and gives accurate results consistently. Test your old home, furniture and items if you suspect they are painted or made of lead. Protect the grand kids.

i’m giving 4 stars because no where online does this state that it’s a toxic or dangerous product, but when you get the product it says to not touch with bare skin or to even breathe the product. so please be careful while using and wear gloves and dispose of properly away from children and pets! it did help me identify some lead on a vintage bed frame!

These are great to have on hand, especially if you are a thrifter like me and like to pick up older items and great used older coffee mugs and plates. I always wonder if they're safe to use and safe to drink out of and that's when I decided I needed this to test them so I could put my mind at ease. They're like Qtip swabs, easy to use by just dipping in white vinegar then rubbing on item for 30 seconds and if it changes colors to those on the bottle, there may be lead in it. Simple quick and easy to use for lasting peace of mind.

My toddler has under methylation and detoxification is one of the biggest health problem. Since her body is accumulating heavy metals and toxins and not detoxifying, we are doing our best to keep our home toxin and heavy metals free. But that’s so hard, pretty much everything has some kind of toxic metals, plastics, chemicals etc.My daughter’s heavy metals test results are very concerning and she’s getting treatment for heavy metals toxicity. Ever since we found out about her health problems we are extremely cautious what we’re using and checking heavy metals like Arsenic water test, waters tests, Lead swab tests. Those tests give me pieces of mind.This holiday season she got many toys as a gifts and her brother and sister got many toys as well. I like to check each and every toys for lead and found out this one.It’s super easy to use and seems very accurate. Many piece for the price. I was shocked almost half of the toys she and her brother received had lead, especially some were smaller toys that she and her baby brother able to put in her mouth.I threw all of them in the trash. I will recommend lead tests for every person who has health related issues.

Ordered this because we just moved into a house from the 1930s, and wanted to ensure there wasn't lead paint. Overall worked well and was quite straight forward and worked as described on the package. Just make sure you have vinegar to use with it too.
