 Some inexpensive and quick tests can be conducted if mold is suspected. In the case of carpets, a small portion of the suspect material can be submitted to a laboratory for identification. Most microbiology laboratories need only a little of the suspected mold on a clear strip of sticky tape to determine, using a microscope, whether it is actually mold or something that looks like mold. If you lack extensive experience or are in doubt about sampling, consult an experienced professional. Remember, sampling results may have limited use or application.
