Being an expert in everything is not easy, but when dealing with such a delicate matter as a home drug test, you are pretty much has to learn all the nuances about the procedure to be sure you got it right.

-          Hello there, I need help – I got this home test thingy and cannot figure out exactly how to read it. I mean – I followed all of the instructions, but it does not really help me to understand what I got here. You see, there are these two lines, test and control, and I already called and asked about them earlier, but one of them is lighter that the other one. I used this detox drink just now, and now I am not sure

-          A lighter test line indicates a “weak negative” – this means that you passed the test, but just above the cut off level.

-          OK, but this is not very reassuring – how do I know that this test even works? Does it need to be the same intensity as the other one? May be this is not good enough for a test?

-          Generally, a test line would not appear if the sample is positive, but if you like you can do the following: before using any detoxifying products, urinate in a clean cup and set it aside. Then use the product, follow the directions as it requires you to, and after a few urinations urinate in a different cup. Then take two different testers and dip them in into each cup simultaneously, this way you can observe how the lines appear on the testers.

-          Hi, I spoke with you yesterday about the faint test line on the home test, and I have followed your advice and compared the two tests before and after the drink – yes! the test line does not appear at all on my “dirty” urine, but on the other one I can clearly see it. Just wanted to call in and thank you for your advice!
