Why Softwash?
It is time to treat your home to a Softwash spruce up for all those summer BBQ parties. Softwash is the original, authentic, low-pressure cleaning process. “It’s a unique system that is not harsh on your home’s exterior,” says manager Stan Wilkins. “We don’t water-blast because that can damage the paint or surface of the building, allowing water to enter the wall cavities and lead to dampness and mould.” Instead the Softwash process gently neutralises and removes the mould, algae and other grime that’s harmful to paintwork, leaving your home looking like new again. Softwash also specialises in roof treatments and gutter cleaning. Decks, patios, paths, driveways and shade sails are transformed by the Softwash treatment too. Bothered by spiders and flies and the unsightly mess they leave behind inside and outside your home? Our technicians are licensed to treat indoor and outdoor areas for flies and spiders – eliminating those unsightly cobwebs and hordes of pesky flies. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. “We offer a fast, efficient service that’s preceded by a free quote so you know exactly what the job will cost. There are no hidden costs.”
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
