Shower Glass - did you know
Glass is not just a flat surface, it also has pores and those pores get contaminated with organic & in-organic compounds ie shampoo, soap, water silica etc. This contamination reduces glass sparkle, clarity and make's the surface unhygienic. Unfortunately household cleaners are only any good when the shower glass is new but they soon lose their cleaning power when contaminates clog the pores of the glass, generally you see signs within 3 months ie water staining. Also you can also run your hand down the inside of the glass, if it has changed from a smooth to rough surface, a sign contaminants are building up and glass clarity will be compromised shortly.
Also advertised DIY products are misleading, some contain silicon, which is a potential health hazard and all only give you a short term result.
ClearShield Eco-system is a seven step process and can remove all contamination – both organic and inorganic – from the glass surface, without using harsh chemicals, returning your glass surfaces to an 'as-new' appearance giving you that new glass feel again.
ClearShield, final step in the process, which is a unique polymeric resin, then seals the pores of the glass & then protects your glass. The protected glass becomes 'non-stick' and easier to clean working just like Teflon on cookware. Your shower glass is now protected from dirt, lime scale, soap scum, bacteria and the greasy fingermarks.
With an easy aftercare maintenance program, your cleaning frequency reduces by 50% and when you do clean, save up to 85% in your time and cleaning chemicals. For me this is 5 to 10 minutes/week with an annual cleaning cost of $25.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
