ERMI - Mold Test Kit

Need an ERMI?

• Is your home making you sick?
• Is your workplace making you sick?
• Is your car making you sick?
• Is your school making you sick?
• Is the daycare making your kids sick?

How can you know if mold could be a contributing factor?

ERMI testing.

What is ERMI mold testing?

ERMI mold testing is when you collect the dust from your home (or school, work, etc.) to have it examined for mold spores.

These spores come from many different species of mold, some extremely toxic, others not as much.

This ERMI mold test kit will let you know what mold spores are found in your home and how concentrated it is. 

See a sample ERMI report here

You will receive a broken-down list of these toxic molds from water damage and your levels of less toxic and common indoor molds.

From that total, you will be given a final 'ERMI score,' which will provide you with an idea of how healthy your home is (related to mold).

The score isn't as accurate as the molds present though, as some are very toxic. Matt will cover these with you on your free 15 minute ERMI review call.

This is a Swiffer ERMI kit and is easy to complete yourself at home. Once completed, you will ship it back to the lab, and your results will be emailed to you once ready.

This ERMI testing kit includes a 15 minute call with Matt to go over the results of your ERMI. Just email once you have your results and we will set up an ERMI review Zoom.

How to complete an ERMI:

1. Read the included instructions first
2. Use the gloves to prevent contamination of the Swiffer
3. Collect dust from the rooms you frequent and each level of the home
4. Collect enough dust that the Swiffer looks dirty
5. Collect from high areas and low (but not floor)
6. Collect inside a register vent, but do not collect any grit

Do NOT test these areas:

• Do not wipe in the kitchen (unless you watch Matt's video above)
• Do not wipe high heat areas (around a fireplace)
• Do not wipe visible mold or dirt/grit/grime
• Do not collect any drywall dust
• Do not collect dust near exterior doors or window sills. These can have artificially high spores from outside

Commonly found dusty areas to swiffer:

• On top of the tv
• On top of window and door molding
• On top of picture frames
• On entertainment units
• On top of cabinets
• Ceiling fan blades
• On top of baseboard to collect heavy molds

Collection notes:

1. Watch Matt's video above before starting
2. If you have an air filtration running, shut it off for a few days before testing.
3. Use the side of the Swiffer that has more texture (holding power)
4. Collect as much dust as you can from the qualified areas
5. Make sure the dust is thick enough and the Swiffer 'dirty' looking
6. Once complete, fold the Swiffer into itself
7. Place back in the bag and prepare for returning the sample
8. Collect as much dust as you can from the qualified areas
9. Make sure the dust is thick enough and the Swiffer 'dirty' looking
10. Once complete, fold the Swiffer into itself
11. Place back in the bag and prepare for returning the sample
12. You have to cover the cost of return shipping

Mycotoxins from mold are incredibly toxic.

But don't confuse mold testing with mycotoxin testing.

These are two very different things. If you're testing one, it usually means you need to be testing the other as well. Then there's the chance mold is colonizing (growing itself) in your body.


1. An ERMI test checks for mold spores, the species of fungi found, and also the concentration.
2. A Mycotoxin test will check your body for mycotoxins which are the inert toxin released from mold spores. These mycotoxins are what make people sick.
3. An OAT (Organic Acids test) will check your body for mold growing inside of you.

These are the three tests that will give you the best idea of what you're dealing with regarding mold and its toxins in your body and living space.
