Which satellite towns are proving most popular for Waikato buyers?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Huntly prices and a Te Awamutu lifestyle are becoming increasingly attractive, according to those in the real estate sector.

And, for people able to work from home a few days a week, the commute distance may become less important.

When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

How Often Should You Clean Your Curtains?

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Hamilton

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.

However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.
