Did you know that you can wash suede clothing?

Kirsty Mason from Gorgeous Creatures

It is always hard to know what to do if suede leather needs washing. You can't just get it wet and use any old cleaning product.

The suede jacket and suede vest smelt musty, and where unwearable because of the terrible smell. The musty odour was probably mould that had started to infect the leather and the fabric lining.

This Gorgeous Creatures blog article shows how you can wash suede at home. All washing is done at your own risk as each situation is unique.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
