Label the bag in the white area. Ballpoint pens can be used. This sampling procedure does not require gloves!
Tear bag open by removing the tab. As an added safety measure, the tab is green-striped, making it easy to spot if lost.
Pull the bag down from the outside to release the stick. Do not touch the inner surface of the bag.
Collect the sample by vigorously rubbing sponge on target area (e.g. 30 x 30 cm, 1 x 1 ft). Do not touch the stick below the thumb-stop located in the middle of the handle.
Return the stick to the bag, taking care to insert it no deeper than the thumb-stop.
Pull the sponge off the stick by grasping it from outside the bag. For best results, pull from the middle of the fork-like end, using your thumb and index finger to move the sponge back and forth until it gently releases from the stick.
Use the attached tie to close the Twirl-Tie™ bag by rolling the opening of the bag and then kinking the tie to the inner side.
