Got yourself a small laundry?

Garry Tranter from Price My House for Free Limited

When space is tight, a compact laundry that utilises every nook and cranny is key. Here are the top tips to help make small laundries feel bigger

- Tips for small laundries

Open shelves make everything easily accessible and save on cupboard door clearance space.

Front-loading appliances allow for more bench space and are more water-efficient.

If you can, build storage all the way to the ceiling to maximise your use of space.

“Fold-out ironing boards might seem clever but it’s nicer to be able to move the ironing board around, eg to a warmer part of the house in winter,” says Lucy Sargent from Pocketspace Interiors. Install a tall, skinny cupboard or recessed shelf for your ironing board, and don’t forget a designated shelf or cubby for the iron.

A mirrored splashback reflects light and makes small spaces feel larger. Glossy cupboard finishes have the same effect.

- A few space-saving extras

A rail for hanging damp or ironed clothes.

A suspended laundry rack to fully utilise spare ceiling space.

A pull-out shelf for resting the laundry basket on, or for folding clothes.

Pull-out hampers for easy dumping and sorting of clothes.

Under-shelf storage to make use of every centimetre of space.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
