What do you mean by pregnancy tester? Any modern home pregnancy test has at least a testing strip and sometimes an included solution that should remain sealed until just before use and will have an expiration date. The testing strip and solution contain specific proteins that degrade and become unreliable. Clean or not its hard to believe your previously opened (and used?) test will work.
