Hi,


CAN YOU HELP? 021 085 24 598

4-6 hrs work there abouts.

Retired? or semi retired? may suit some one who may be able to help, who is community minded and would like to give a hand. will recompense time etc.

Do you have a tractor? and plow? or type of larger Rotary hoe and experience?

We live on a lifestyle block, and since floods, food prices etc, we wish to wisely utilize what we have and, are planning to make a large Vegetable Garden on a piece of land we have at home in the country just out side Feilding, thus need someone with plowing experience for a few hrs work.

( not a hire company ) we need a experienced tractor driver who had proper gear, to help us plow/ build a large vegetable Garden. May take few hrs just to plow? and or a few hrs over a few days, what ever suits, flexible.

Is there any one who can help please, we need some one for a few hrs to plow up a bit of and on our property please. Will pay for the time/ work done, and petrol, use of what ever needed to plow a bit of land.

We are trying to be as self-sufficient as we can, we would be very grateful if their is a skilled retired farmer out there, or some who does this in the community.

Please no time waster, genuine Enquiries only thank you. If you have referrals that to would be appreciated.

Why you DON’T put Curtains in a washing machine

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Palmerston North

Recently we have been taking care of (fixing) curtains that have been put in the washing machine. There are a number of reasons why this is a terrible idea.

Firstly, we take many measures to ensure your curtains get as clean as possible without shrinkage or colour loss. Recently we have had to re-wash curtains that have been washed but there is still traces of mould or live mould left on the curtain. We take careful steps to ensure this is eliminated as much as possible on the curtain fabric, and can always remove it from linings. These results are simply unable to be duplicated in a home environment.

Spray on curtain cleaning products contain sodium hypochlorite, aka bleach. If you use products to remove mould, it can result in colour loss. This is one of the more common problems we have seen. We test all fabric before cleaning to be sure of what cleaners can be used with it.

Washing curtains in the washing machine can result in other damage – curtains need to be handled with care, especially older fabrics. It is expensive getting a curtain re-lined due to rips – we take extra care in preventing this from happening.

In addition to the above – most of the time, they will come out of the machine wrinkly and look terrible, no matter the fabric type. Our service ensures they look great and ‘like new’ as they can when returned to you (and of course, fresh and clean).

Don’t make the same mistake, call us (the experts) instead.
