Fireworks

Graeme from Chartwell

So tonight I guess I will have to dose up my labrador with his calming solution again and then sit on him half the night while he has a full on panic attack, so he doesn't hurt himself, or break stuff. As I've had to do for the last several nights, and off and on for weeks.

So tonight I guess I will have to dose up my labrador with his calming solution again and then sit on him half the night while he has a full on panic attack, so he doesn't hurt himself, or break stuff. As I've had to do for the last several nights, and off and on for weeks.
Do you think that after tonight we could show our pets some compassion and respect by not letting these stupid things off every night?
No, probably not. The pets will just have remain terrified every night for weeks, I suppose.

How to Prevent Mouldy Curtains and Blinds

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Hamilton

Why does mould appear in the first place?
Mould grows in damp areas where there is a food source such as dust, dirt or organic material. That’s why single glazed or drafty windows, where condensation and dust are common, are often a problem area.

Why does mould appear in the first place?
Mould grows in damp areas where there is a food source such as dust, dirt or organic material. That’s why single glazed or drafty windows, where condensation and dust are common, are often a problem area.

What are some tips for preventing mould growth?
Clean soft furnishings regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually involves a regular light vacuum, with less frequent dry cleaning or laundering. Regularly clean windows and wipe down window surrounds and venetian blinds or shutters with a mild detergent in warm water.

Does the material of the curtains affect how much mould will grow?
Yes, consider selecting window coverings manufactured from man-made materials, particularly in damp areas such as the bathroom, kitchen and on south-facing windows. It’s best to use a wipe-able, water-resistant blind or shutter in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Even man-made fabrics don’t cope well in those environments.

How do I remove the mould?
Once mould develops it’s best to nip it in the bud as early as possible with a thorough clean. Some curtains can be hand washed (check the manufacturer’s instructions) but, for best results, we recommend taking them to a specialist cleaner. Curtain Clean services most of the North Island and takes care of all types of curtains and blinds.

Since moisture is the culprit, how can we minimise it in our homes?
- Use lids on pots and pans when cooking.
- Never hang clothes to dry inside and vent your clothes drier to the outside.

Pls, sign petition to NZ Govt to declare Russia a terrorist state. The war is still going and Russia is trying to kill Ukraine every day. My friend in Zaporozhye was injured by blast, he was at the hospital for a few months. My 2 cousins in Nikolaev already forgot what is safety and normal life. I am trying to help with money as much as I can but it's not enough. Pls, don't think that we are safe here and the war is too far away. Putin is insane, mad. Signing petition is not hard, it takes 1 min. Please, kiwis. Have a look videos on Youtube about Bucha, Mariupol and others. Nothing left from those beautiful places. My heart is crying for Ukraine.
