Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

How Often Should You Clean Your Curtains?

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Palmerston North

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.

However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.

Local painter Graham Christensen is supporting the important and very necessary work of the Manawatu Rural Support Service (MRSS) in his latest exhibition ‘A Rural Perspective’ on at the Feilding Art Centre until the 30th of March.

The entire proceeds from the sale of ‘Let them Out’ will be donated to MRSS to assist them in continuing their essential work within our local rural communities.

The Manawatu Rural Support Service is a not-for-profit organisation who specialises in supporting the stability and wellbeing of all rural individuals and their families who live within our rural Northern Manawatu and Pohangina Valley communities. They do this by providing a free, confidential mobile support service that can visit on the farm (the Rural Community Workers travel in all-wheel-drives to assist their access to remote areas and always carry a pair of gumboots!), within the home or to schools and community groups.

They assist at any time of need including sickness, bereavement, unemployment and financial hardship. They work with their clients to resolve loneliness, isolation and other personal difficulties and provide support programmes and workshops for specific needs in the community.

MRSS also assist Civil Defence at times of emergency and recently their services were greatly appreciated by the community of Pohangina Valley following the devastation to the area by Cyclone Gabrielle.

About the Artist
Graham Christensen has lived much of his life on and around farms within the Manawatu/Rangitikei region. His father, grandfather and great grandfather were all farmers and from a young age Graham worked on shearing gangs and hay trucks before studying agriculture and going on to spend a lifetime within the sector.

Now retired, Graham lives on a farm near Ashhurst and paints from a large light-filled studio – fittingly, a converted room at the back of the barn.

In this exhibition Graham takes his lived experience and captures moments in time that many of us will know and love from our own memories of rural New Zealand.

Graham regularly exhibits throughout the Manawatu/Rangitikei region and is frequently commissioned to paint pieces of sentimental value to celebrate anniversaries, special birthdays and retirement. His work is hung in homes, businesses and private collections throughout New Zealand and internationally.

More of Graham's work can be seen on his website: www.grahamchristensen.co.nz...
