Snapper cards will be accepted on Wellington’s trains from October this year, ending more than a century of paper tickets.
The Snapper pilot will begin in October on the Johnsonville Rail Line, subject to the final completion of commercial negotiations.

How to Maintain and Care for your Wallcoverings

So, you’ve finally chosen that fabulous wallpaper to showcase your style but how do you best look after it to keep it looking fresh and clean?

Many a foreign object can flick onto the surface of the wallpapers in your home that can range from food to crayon to fly spray, the list goes on. Like any textile, wallpapers do need a little bit of love every now and then, a regular wipe down with a clean cloth should keep dust and marks at bay however there are times when there may be the need for a more deeper clean.

To better understand how to care for your wallcoverings we need to first understand the different types of wallpaper on the market and their cleaning durability. The main three classifications are:

1. Washable: Coated papers (light weight vinyl) would fall under this category. A mild detergent and water can be used to occasionally wipe surface of wallcovering. Not suitable for high traffic areas due to light cleaning and inability to remove stains or contaminants without damage.

2. Scrubbable: Generally heavy vinyl’s, these types of wallcoverings are suited to higher traffic areas as they can withstand scrubbing to remove stains and dirt more effectively.

3. Spongeable: The most delicate of the three methods with wall coverings primarily used for decorative effect (uncoated). Best maintained by using a dry clean sponge/eraser or with a lightly dampened cloth and avoiding heavy water use.

Les Dalton spent 45 years looking after dogs and his legacy will continue with a purpose-built dog park in Wainuiomata.
The Hutt City Council recently agreed to name its first dog park after Dalton, who died in May 2020, while working on opening the amenity, which would have been his most significant achievement.
His wife, Jill Dalton, said he would have been delighted by the decision.
“I think it is a wonderful tribute to him and his legacy of 45 years.”
Mayor Campbell Barry said Dalton was an advocate for dog welfare and having a dog park named after him in Wainuiomata, where he lived, was a fitting tribute.
