Firstly, we take many measures to ensure your curtains get as clean as possible without shrinkage or colour loss. Recently we have had to re-wash curtains that have been washed but there is still traces of mould or live mould left on the curtain. We take careful steps to ensure this is eliminated as much as possible on the curtain fabric, and can always remove it from linings. These results are simply unable to be duplicated in a home environment.
Spray on curtain cleaning products contain sodium hypochlorite, aka bleach. If you use products to remove mould, it can result in colour loss. This is one of the more common problems we have seen. We test all fabric before cleaning to be sure of what cleaners can be used with it.
Washing curtains in the washing machine can result in other damage – curtains need to be handled with care, especially older fabrics. It is expensive getting a curtain re-lined due to rips – we take extra care in preventing this from happening.
In addition to the above – most of the time, they will come out of the machine wrinkly and look terrible, no matter the fabric type. Our service ensures they look great and ‘like new’ as they can when returned to you (and of course, fresh and clean).
Don’t make the same mistake, call us (the experts) instead.

You can help me raise funds for the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle response, by purchasing raffle tickets for the sale of this painting!
Hearing about the devastation that is still unfolding from these recent weather events is heartbreaking, and I want to do my part.
I was planning a silent auction instead but like this idea better as more of you can be involved in giving to support our neighbours, friends and family.
DETAILS:
🍂 Each ticket is $25 NZD.
🍂 All proceeds minus the cost of professional packaging & shipping to the winner will be donated to Red Cross.
🍂 To enter please visit my art page on Facebook or Instagram- Rosanne Croucher Art, and message me your name, email address, and number of tickets you want, so I can send through payment details.
🍂 Winner will be drawn on Friday night the 24th February
🍂 The painting will be shipped the following week and I’ll pop a screenshot of the donation confirmation email up on my stories.
🍂 This painting is called Spirited, and is one of my early large landscape works. Oils on canvas, 1m x 1m in size. Based on a windy autumn day scene in Te Anau, New Zealand.
Please share this with family and friends so we can raise as much money as possible ($2700 raised so far!), and good luck for the draw!!

One way of saving water for emergency use is to 3/4 fill clean plastic milk bottles or similar & store them in the bottom of your freezer. This will give an extra benefit in the event of a power cut, as the more full a freezer is the longer contents will stay cold.

This will give an extra benefit in the event of a power cut, as the more full a freezer is the longer contents will stay cold. Also if it is a chest type freezer the layer of water bottles will raise contents higher so you don't have to reach so far down for those elusive items!
