Three steps, about one minute

1. ACTIVATE

Dip the swab tip in white vinegar. When the tip turns mustard yellow, it is ready.

2. TEST

Rub the surface with the swab tip for at least 30 seconds.

3. READ

Yellow or orange tip: no lead detected. Pink, red, or dark maroon: lead detected.

Reading your result

Real reacted swabs, not a printed chart

The yellow tip is an activated swab with no lead detected. The dark tips are positive reactions on leaded paint: the tip turns pink, red, or dark maroon when lead is present. The surface may also stain pink when low levels of lead are present.

What to test, and what this test is

Designed for paint on walls, trim, doors, window sills, painted furniture, radiators, and painted toys or decor. For non-paint surfaces and ceramics, follow the specific notes printed on the pack.

This is a surface screening test, not a substitute for laboratory analysis. Always compare the swab tip to the color chart printed on the pack, and see the pack for the non-paint surfaces method and the ceramics note.
