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?

If anyone is after some huge corner desks, the hospital has a lot to be disposed of. Most of them are around 1.8m (6’) x 1.8m, and weigh a LOT!
They have been relocated, so time is not such a huge problem, but they still need to be collected form the hospital.

They have been relocated, so time is not such a huge problem, but they still need to be collected form the hospital.
They are in great condition, just dusty, and have been dismantled. There are also shelves available. Please message me on 0277363969 for details of the person to arrange it with. You will need a truck and/or trailer and more than one person.
If you can take them all, for distribution or storage until they can be collected, please do. And yes, you can sell them.
Your satisfaction is our top priority! Let us transform your carpets from dull to dazzlingly with our proven cleaning methods.
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.

Curtains are an essential part of any home décor. They not only add beauty to a room but also serve practical purposes such as providing privacy, blocking light, and insulating the room.

They not only add beauty to a room but also serve practical purposes such as providing privacy, blocking light, and insulating the room. However, curtains can also become a haven for dust, dirt, and allergens, which can be harmful to your health. Regular cleaning of curtains can help remove these particles and keep your home healthy and clean.
Here are some reasons why cleaning curtains regularly is beneficial:
1. Remove Dust and Dirt: Curtains, like any other household item, collect dust and dirt over time. This can cause allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues. Regular cleaning of curtains can help remove these particles and improve indoor air quality.
2. Improve the Look of Your Home: Clean curtains can improve the overall look of your home. They can add a fresh and inviting atmosphere to any room.
3. Prolong the Life of Curtains: Regular cleaning can help prolong the life of your curtains. Dirt and dust particles can cause the fabric to wear and tear faster than normal. Regular cleaning can prevent this and help extend the life of your curtains.
4. Remove Odours: Curtains can absorb odours from cooking, smoking, and other activities. Regular cleaning can help remove these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.
5. Protect from Sun Damage: Curtains can fade and become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help remove any build-up of dirt and dust particles that can contribute to sun damage.
6. Prevent Mould and Mildew Growth: Curtains that are not cleaned regularly can become a breeding ground for mould and mildew. Regular cleaning can prevent the growth of these harmful substances.
In conclusion, regular cleaning of curtains is important for both health and aesthetic reasons. It helps remove dust, dirt, and allergens, improves the look of your home, prolongs the life of your curtains, removes odours, protects from sun damage, and prevents mould and mildew growth. Therefore, it is recommended to add curtain cleaning to your regular cleaning routine to maintain a clean and healthy home.
Edit - the store is open, the workshop being set up, but we still need a cash drawer, if anyone has one spare. We also need old, working sewing machines and overlockers, for our sewing workroom.

We also need old, working sewing machines and overlockers, for our sewing workroom.
I’m try to reuse as much as possible, rather than get new, as that is the basis of my community business. I’m also trying to keep my setup costs as low as possible.
So if you have upgraded your equipment, or closed your retail business and have equipment to part with, please email me at store@re-new.nz
Also, if anyone needs workshop space, please contact me. I know students and small businesses have been hit hard, losing their workshops in the cyclone, so I am happy to provide space.
Tuesday night witnessed a member of our teenage community on a skate board kicking the recycling bins full of glass all over the place while travelling down Duke Street toward Pakowhai Road. What a waste of space.
