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.

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.

Since 1998 the Society has increasingly added non-G&S works to its repertoire, prompting the addition of ‘Light Opera’ to the Society’s name and, more recently, the adoption of the trading name Wellington Comic Opera (WCO). This change heralded the intent to supplement the more popular Savoy Operas with musicals, with an emphasis on light-hearted, tuneful and amusing shows penned by such greats as Gershwin, Berlin, Kern, Bart, Porter, Bock & Harnick, Rodgers & Hart, Rodgers & Hammerstein, and Lerner & Loewe. This concert features, along with excerpts from the two G&S favourites HMS Pinafore and The Gondoliers, selections from the Lionel Bart classic Oliver! as well as Jerome Kern’s Show Boat and Cole Porter’s High Society and Kiss Me Kate. After our thrice-postponed Pirates of Penzance scheduled for May 2023, we hope to mount a new show, written by our creative team of Michael Vinten and Alison Hodge, that will pay homage to early musical theatre within a New Zealand context.

Check out the bathing sheds on the right which would be wheeled down to the waters edge so that women could step out into the water without being seen.

This painting is one of thirty watercolours by Alan Collins form his exhibition now on at Petone's seaside gallery, The exhibition is on together with a photography exhibition by Simon Woolf and can be viewed until Sunday 27 Nov
