A retro watercolor-style pin-up illustration of a smiling blonde woman with voluminous curls, wearing a white lace dress, holding a lead testing swab near a chipped windowsill with peeling paint. In her other hand, she displays an open test kit with multiple swabs, while soft pastel tones and a vintage aesthetic give the scene a classic 1950s feel.

John I don’t know why I didn’t come up with this tip before. This is a tip that we should have had on here: Lead testing swabs.

Adam Ooh, yes! That sounds like something we definitely should have had.

John Yeah, you know, you go to Goodwill, you pick up some old crockery - check it for lead! It could be toxic. And so one example is the AA Wipes Lead Test Kit, 30 swabs, is on Amazon. Enhanced lead testing formulation. At home lead paint - it’s also good for testing paint. Moving into a new house, test paint.

Adam Wait a minute, you just swab the walls or what do you do?

John You stick it in a thing and it turns colors.

Adam People check their drugs all the time. I’m surprised everybody doesn’t have these just around the house.

John Everyone should have these lead test kits.

Adam They’re available on Amazon. What’s the price?

John Well, this is the AA Wipes. It’s one of many, there’s a lot of companies that make these. 9 bucks.

Adam It’s a good tip and it could save your life. How about that, a 9 dollar tip of the day that could save your life.
