Hi Aucklanders,

The new regional fuel tax has come into effect, pushing the price of fuel up an extra 11.5c a litre at some pumps.

Protect your family’s health and save money

Kerry Taylor from

Winter may not seem like the best time to clean your curtains and blinds. However, it is the time when you most need them to be clean and mildew free. Drawing them closed to keep you cosy can send mildew and mould spores into the atmosphere to be breathed in by you and your family.

Winter may not seem like the best time to clean your curtains and blinds. However, it is the time when you most need them to be clean and mildew free. Drawing them closed to keep you cosy can send mildew and mould spores into the atmosphere to be breathed in by you and your family.

Mildew and mould spores have long been recognised as a serious health hazard. Protect your family's health and have your curtains cleaned in July by Textile Cleaning Services.

We will clean your curtains and blinds and kill the mildew and mould spores. We only need your curtains or blinds for 2 to 3 nights and you won’t need to freeze without them as we can supply you with replacement curtains (not blinds, sorry) at no charge to keep you cosy and private whilst we make yours clean, fresh and mildew free.

Simply deliver your curtains and blinds to us during July and we will reduce the cost by 30%. This is a genuine reduction – our once a year Winter Special for July only and only if you deliver and collect your window coverings from our premises in Glenfield.

We are located in Wairau Park, Glenfield. We have been cleaning curtains for Aucklanders for over 20 years so come and see us at 5A Kaimahi Road, Wairau Park or visit our website.

Protect your family’s health and your valuable furnishings at the same time.

Hey Auckland,

What do you think about the Government's new 10-year transport plan? Although the rest of the country is set to benefit from transport investment, it's a double-whammy for Aucklanders. Locals will now have to face petrol price hikes as well as the newly approved regional fuel tax.

How will this affect you and your family? Are you for or against the new plan? Will the petrol price hikes force you to use more public transport? Let us know in the replies!

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
