If the previous article posted about the potential health issues due to the presence of Mold in our homes shocked you as much as it did me, then you may be wanting to do some sort of a test to find out if your home has any significant mold or mildew present. Preventative maintenance is always the best practice.
A very cheap and effective way to test for molds, mildews and even bacteria is to use a Petri dish. A Petri dish is what the medical profession uses to grow cultures for testing. To perform a test, just follow these steps.
1. Remove the petri dish from the bag and place on a level
surface.
2. Pour the entire contents of Easy-gel bottle into the open
Petri dish.
3. Leave the dish open for one (1) hour.
4. After (1) hour place the cover on the dish and seal with
clear tape. ( DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES )
5. Leave dish to incubate at room temperature in a dark area
for one (1) week. (A kitchen cup board )
You may start to see visuals in 72 to 96 hours.
6. Compare the results to the samples below.
7. Dispose of the used Petri dish responsibly.
Red Spots indicate bacteria.
White or grey, fuzz areas indicate mold frowth which could lead to allergic reactions.

Home air purifiers are great for the office too! Having fresh, clean air to breath all day long is important for everyone in order to operate at peak performance.
Pollen, dust and mold can irritate us especially those with allergies or asthma. Tobacco smoke can also be irritating to many and also cause furniture and supplies to have an odor. Bacteria and viruses are also present and can be spread from person to person. UV air purifiers 
with ultra violet light are designed to destroy bacteria and viruses.
The home air purifier was designed to remove these impurities from the air and leave us with a clean, healthy environment to work in. They work great to remove smoke smell. They also do a wonderful job removing dust and pollen providing us with natural allergy relief. Also in damp conditions where molds and mildews grow, there are certain purifiers that suppress these conditions.
A person never knows who else might be coming into their office that may be irritated by any of the issues mentioned above. As a professional business person, I’m sure we all want to have the best presentable office that we can have. We certainly don’t want spread bacteria and viruses to others or visa - versa. The home air purifiers do a good job of cleaning the air we breath and they are great for the office too!
