We live in an old house and I was very concerned about most surfaces. This is test kit is very easy to use. The directions and color strip are right on the bottle so you can't lose them.

I had purchased a pottery from Mexico and I wanted to make sure it was actually accessible for me to cook. I used it to see if it had any kind of toxic so I have not actually used my pottery to cook my Mexican beans in it but I tested it.

I had a hard time matching the swab color to the color range on the container. Was the color orange or peach.

I’m testing everything they seem reliable

I purchased to test some plates and a namebrand brass trombone mouthpiece that the school assigned to my son to play. As can be seen in the photo on the left, lead is present in this mouthpiece since the side of the swab rubbed against the mouthpiece turned red in contrast to the yellowish orange of the side of the swab that wasn't rubbed against the mouthpiece as seen in the photo on the right. It is sad that there are many young brains in school bands all over the US pushing those leaded mouthpieces against their mouths while their parents are not informed that these pieces more than likely contain lead. This particular mouthpiece was supposedly purchased by the school in 2007. By the way I used water as instructed on the container and tried some with vinegar. Both gave similar results, however using water seemed to yield better contrast.Update:. Down rated it to one starfor uncertainty. When follwing the instructions on the label by using water, the sqab turned red on lead, iron, copper, and zinc. When wetting it with distilled white vinegar, and testing on brass trombone mouthpiece it turned red. I tested another block of brass with a second swab dipped in distilled white vinegar, and it didn't change color. This may mean the second brass block had no lead in it. This is consistent with the information from the manufacturer of the mouthpiece that ot has lead. I would say these swabs are useless and give many false positives whe dipped in water as instructed on the label. Negative 5 stars if possible.

I tested it out on several different household items and found that while my nice china teapot did not contain lead (which was my reason for buying it), my metal fruit basket did according to the swabs! Super easy to use and shows immediate results!

I tested few locations, at the sink it turned pink. Which indicated lead. However, there should not be lead because we don’t have lead water mains in our town. I suspected the soap is turning this thing pink. So I tested on soap it turned pink, and tested on baking soda it also turned pink. Make sure when you testing the object the surface does not have ph value larger than 7

I bought 3 sets of new dishes from Burlington and Home Goods as I'm trying to eliminate (microplastics) and melamine completely and wanted glass, stoneware, etc dishes. 2 SETS of of my newly purchased (today) dishes tested positive for lead. I tested twice to be sure. One set of glass ceramic dishes made in Turkey and the other set was made in China. I absolutely loved these beautiful new dishes but I'm returning them and advising these retail stores that these dishes contain lead.I'm SO GLAD that I purchased this lead test kit. This is a great way to protect your family from lead poisoning. I just purchased my next set of dishes on Amazon - fingers crossed that they will not test positive.

Verry good product.Its a bit scarry to see how many things still has lead.
