This is the most beautiful cream vintage piano. We absolutely love and adore it. But we unfortunately don't play the piano so someone else may as well enjoy it.
It is very unique and has beautiful applique? Detailing. Definitely a superior style and is an art piece in itself. Cones with a cream piano stool with a crown on it.
This piano is strictly as is where is , so will need tuning apon destination. We are not musical, but fell in love with it years back and purchased it off someone regretfully relocating to the US. They were the ones that restored it and made it look beautiful.
Asking price is alot less than we paid.

Feel free to view.

All viewings and collections are contactless due to covid.

How to Make Your Towels Feel New Again

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Palmerston North

One of the best things about staying with my parents is the promise of soft, fluffy towels when I arrive.

Compared to the rough, frequently damp variety I have at home, my mum’s towels feel like I'm being wrapped in clouds. When I ask her how she keeps her towels so fluffy, she replies, only half-joking, “I buy expensive towels.”

First, I read that the leading cause of stiff towels is often leftover detergent residue. However, while cutting back on detergent will prevent towels from growing scratchy, it may not revive the softness. Choosing a hot water cycle and washing loads of only towels are also recommended for maintaining fluff, but again may not be enough to bring it back from the dead.

Undeterred, I continued to scrounge around the internet, and eventually came across a few interesting tricks—using items that I already have lying around at home—that I decided to try. Not at all of them worked out, but here is what I discovered.

Add Baking Soda
What the internet says: Mix half a cup of baking soda along with a normal detergent dose for fluffier and cleaner towels. Baking soda also naturally eliminates musty and mildew smells that come from towels remaining damp for too long.
How it worked: The towel felt thicker and bouncier, but the threads were sharper and spikier—kind of like a buzz cut texture. Not entirely ideal.

Throw Tennis Balls in The Dryer
What the internet says: If you have a few clean, unused tennis balls lying around like I do, try throwing them in the dryer along with your towels. As the balls bounce around, they help remove lumps and increase softness.
How it worked: It didn’t. I noticed no difference in fluffiness from drying towels with tennis balls. My towels remained their same old scruffy selves.

Brush It Out
What the internet says: Use a hairbrush to brush your towel once it’s clean and dry, which will help break down any dried detergent residue and separate the threads from each other, making the towel softer to the touch.
