Worried about mold? Get this QOOMABA Mold Test Kit! It’s an easy-to-use home test for mold. It comes with 5 petri dishes, a bunch of sterile swabs, sample ID labels, and a full-color instruction booklet including identification tips PLUS a guide to mold removal and cleaning. Not only that, you get a whole set of color-coded mold identification cards! They’re riveted together and fan open like a card deck. It’s worth the price just for that. Got moldy food in your fridge? Now you can find out exactly what it is by comparing what it looks like to the pictures. Homeschoolers could even turn this into a science project!The 5 petri dishes are ready to use. You can test multiple rooms or re-test a room at different times. There are two sampling methods: 1.) Remove the lid of the petri dish and leave it exposed to the air for an hour to give mold spores a chance to land on it. This works even if no mold is visible but you suspect it’s in your vents. 2.) Swab a suspected moldy surface and smear it onto the petri dish. Wait for any mold to grow and then compare what it looks like to the pictures. QOOMABA makes this process pretty easy for amateurs. But if you have trouble identifying your mold, they offer free professional lab support.

I ordered this mold test kit for some suspicious spots in the bathroom and closet. It came with everything advertised in the photos except for gloves. The sample plates are well-packaged, sealed in a sterile bag, which is then sealed in 2 layers of vacuum-sealed bags. No chance of contamination while in storage!Per the instructions, I swabbed a section of the bathroom wall I was suspicious of and then rolled it across the sample plate. For the sample in the closet/HVAC, I rummaged around the clothes a bit and then placed the uncovered sample plate in there for an hour to collect any spores in the air. The instructions said to then place the sample plates in a dark warm area for several days, checking in on them each day for growth. I confirmed mold was present in the sample plates after 3 days and gave it another day to confirm the type of mold it was. The picture ID cards included were actually quite helpful for ID'ing the mold (see pics). I ended up using white and black sheets of cardstock as a backdrop since some of the mold coloring is a bit difficult to see with the yellow tint of the plate material.The kit works exactly as advertised and the included picture ID cards are useful for ID'ing the mold and giving recommendations on how to treat it. Definitely worth getting this kit if there is any doubt about mold in the area! My only concern is that once the vacuum seal is broken to get the sample plates out, I'm not sure if you can reseal or store any of the unused plates. So maybe just order a smaller test kit size to start out with!

The good news is that this mold test kit really works!! We tested it on two different rooms in the house and swabbed the surfaces as instructed, then used the included Petri dishes to find out what kinds of things we have growing inside our walls. Our place is surrounded by trees and doesn't get enough sunlight, so testing for mold is absolutely necessary.The instructions are simple and straightforward. We left the petri dishes inside a cupboard under the sink and waited a week to see the results.The kit comes with this handy guide, with pictures, that you can use to compare to what the Petri dish shows. I don't know enough to tell you if it covers all different types of mold, but it's certainly helpful. It also includes guidance on how to clean surfaces and eliminate each kind of mold, which is very helpful. So I definitely recommend this product.Now, the only bad news is to find out that we have at least two different types of mold in the house and I'm afraid I'll find more. Sigh.

Easy to use, came with swabs, and patio dishes. Wish it came with tape since the lids fits loosely. Got some good samples for swabbed areas, but the Petri dishes I left out for an hr to gather an indoor air quality sample, barely grew. One of them did grow small white spots, but unclear if it is mold. Comes with a picture book of various molds to help identify and can also send pics to lab (going to do this!) for further analysis. This is a handy kit to have for at home mold testing, one company was trying to charge $1500 for testing! This is an affordable alternative. 👍
