STEP BY STEP GUIDE
To Sample Collection and Submittal

Sample Collection

Lead Paint

Use a sharp knife to cut through the edges of the sample paint. Sample size should be at least 1 square inch.

 Lift off the paint with a clean putty knife and put it into a Ziploc bag or any other suitable container. Be sure to take a sample of all layers of paint, since only the lower layers may contain lead. Do not include any of the underlying wood, plaster, metal, and brick.

Wipe the surface and any paint dust with a wet cloth or paper towel and discard the cloth or towel.
