Have an OLD house?

[lerlerler]

We have a house that was built in the 1920s... and an old bathtub.


Just out of curiousity? I did a lead check on the bathtub....it's really old and scratched up

and it's ALL lead.

I can't imagine how awful I would feel if I realized this AFTER bathing the baby in the tub for months and having the lead leech into the water.

GET IT CHECKED!

How do you do a lead check? We live in an old house too.

Oh my gosh I never thought of that!!! We have an old claw foot tub (that I hate) in our 145 year old house. Yes, if anyone has some answers please let us know.

Sorry for the delay!
You can buy "lead test" kits at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.. they are generally near the paint section

you just squeeze the tube and rub it on the tub.. and you will know in seconds
