Maintenance Tips on appliances

Mr Rental Hawkes Bay

Hi all, I hope you are keeping warm. I have just sent out a newsletter to some of customers and I included some maintenance tips which might help you as well.
Dryers - clean out the internal lint filter after every load. Check all air vents on the dryer once per year. This can help the unit work properly and last longer as well as reduce any fire risk.
Washing Machines - clean out any filters, check your manual. Also it can pay to do a "hot" wash every now and then to help clean out any buildup soap scum. Also check your hoses aren't leaking.
Vacuum Cleaners - clean out filters regularly, especially if you are using a bag-less vacuum cleaner.
Warm Regards
Andrew Flint

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump

Barbara from Raureka

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
