Adams Painting ...or sanding?

Adam from Adam's Painting

After spending ages sanding and filling gaps on a garage bargeboard, my son (who works alongside me) suggested I rename my business, "Adam's Sanding" instead of, "Adam's Painting". Usually the success of any job is about adequate preparation. And after all that work,… View moreAfter spending ages sanding and filling gaps on a garage bargeboard, my son (who works alongside me) suggested I rename my business, "Adam's Sanding" instead of, "Adam's Painting". Usually the success of any job is about adequate preparation. And after all that work, it's always a good feeling to get the paint on a sound, secure surface!

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Ideas including a BMX track and arboretum have been floated too.

The Benefits of Clean Curtains

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Hamilton

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. However, curtains can also become a haven for dust, dirt, and allergens, which can be harmful to your health. … View moreCurtains 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. 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.
