01

The seven fixes.

01

Damp-wipe sills and door jambs weekly.

Pre-1978 paint chalks where the sun hits. The chalking is the dose.

02

HEPA filter on the vacuum.

Standard bags kick lead dust back into the air. HEPA traps it.

03

Replace painted ceramic dishes used for hot food.

Coffee mugs, soup bowls, plates with tomato sauce.

04

Test imported spices.

Turmeric, paprika, chili powder from non-US suppliers often have lead-chromate brightener.

05

Run the morning tap 60 seconds.

If service line is pre-1986, overnight sit picks up the most lead.

06

Cover the drip-line soil with mulch.

Within 18 inches of foundation collects exterior-paint chalking.

07

Re-test after each fix.

The kit is reusable. The data is more useful than your guess.

02

What does not move the needle.

!

Don't demo the painted trim yourself.

Sanding pre-1978 paint releases lead dust at concentrations no household cleaner is rated for. Wet-strip or hire RRP-certified.
