To get a sample of black mold is very easy. The cheapest (and most effective) way is to use clear scotch tape. The procedure for sampling for black mold (or any other mold) using scotch tape is as follows:

• Cut 2-3 inches of clear scotch tape
• Holding the tape by the edges, stick the tape onto the surface you wish to test for black mold
• Press the tape gently and then peel of the tape
• Again holding the tape by the edges, stick the tape flat on a plastic bag (e.g., zip lock bag)
• On a piece of paper, provide the information regarding the sample. For example from where the sample was collected (wall, ceiling, baseboard, carpet) and whether from the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.
• Put the sample and its information in another bag.
• If taking another sample, repeat the same procedure.

Wouldn’t You Like To Know if Mold in Your House is Making People You Love Sick?

With all the news about black mold and its effects on your health, you may be a little worried if you see mold in your house, especially if you think it looks like black mold. You may already know that some types of mold are toxic and can cause health problems, while others do not affect your health, and are only a cosmetic problem.

Traditional thinking was not to bother identifying the type of mold inside a house, and to simply remove it with bleach and water, which will kill the surface of the mold, but may not kill the mold inside the material it's growing on. Also, mold spores, whether dead or alive can still cause allergy to sensitized individuals.

And, did you know that if you remove toxic mold incorrectly, you can put your health at even further risk? Removing toxic mold without proper protection exposes you to toxic spores released into the air when mold is disturbed.

Unfortunately, you can’t identify what type of mold is in your house by looking at a picture. Even someone specialized in mold identification cannot identify types of house mold by pictures of growth on a wall alone.
