, this would be highly dependent on how

often you dust surfaces. If you haven't dusted

in six months, mold count could be off the chart

and you don't have a substantial mold problem,

just dust problem. Are there directions to tell

you to dust area first, then wait a certain

amount of time before swabbing area. If not,

person with dustiest place would have highest

mold count. Would only testify to how clean

place was kept, not how moldy. Okay, I assume

area was dusted and time measured from dusting,

to sampling unless you say otherwise. Otherwise

test is of no consequence unless you found toxic

mold and that was your goal.
