When dealing with detoxification products it is crucial that you follow the directions. One little mistake and the whole process goes to waste – when you think you should test clean you get just the opposite results! Especially instructions come in handy when utilizing little home testers. However, even with such delicate devices just mere following instructions may not be enough to get the right reading – there are a lot of things you need to know that you cannot find in the instructions manual.

-          Hello there! I think I need you help here! I got this home drug test thingy, and I followed all of the instructions that it came with, but I am a little confused on what I have here. It says that I need to have two lines to test clean. I think I got it, but it looks very faint, I can barely see it. Is that how it supposed to be?

-          A faint test line indicates a weak negative – the toxins in your body are just below the cut off level.

-          OK, but I think that the other line is kind of faint as well – what does that mean? Is that good?

-          That means that there might be something wrong with your sample to begin with. Did you drink a lot of fluids prior to testing yourself? Your sample may be diluted.

-          Well, yeah, I was drinking all morning trying to flush myself… I guess that what did it! I did not think of that – I thought the more you drink the better. Oh well, I got another tester – I will try again tomorrow.

Diluted sample is a very common reason for “inconclusive” test results. Make sure not to over-drink on fluids when preparing for a drug test.
