So, you’ve finally chosen that fabulous wallpaper to showcase your interior 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, ranging from food to crayon to fly spray, and like any textile, wallpapers 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 deeper clean.

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

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

2. Washable
Coated papers (light weight vinyl) would fall into this category, a mild detergent and water can be used to occasionally wipe surface of wallcovering. They are unsuitable for high traffic areas due to light cleaning and inability to remove stains or contaminants without damage.

The Pretender: Series 1, Episodes 1-5 (DVD)

2005. Duration: 112 Minutes

Classic Kiwi political satire

'The Pretender' is a smart, satirical and biting examination of our nation's leaders; the people behind them; and the jealousy, megalomania, fear, confusion, desperation, and occasional (generally brief) elation that mark another typical day at the office. Filmed in a 'mockumentary' style, we follow National Party candidate and budding politician Dennis Plant as he claims the seat for Wakatipu South and quickly becomes the voice of a piece of New Zealand we always knew existed but have never actually seen in person...

Ratepayers face “significant” added costs to demolition plans for Hamilton’s defunct Founders Theatre as opponents make a last-ditch plea to the courts.

Their lawyers have asked the city council stop all work towards the demolition of the theatre, according to an email from acting Hamilton City Council boss Sean Murray.

The Theatre of the Impossible Trust (TOTI) intends to seek a review of the council’s decision through the High Court.

In May, councillors voted 9-4 to demolish Founders and transform the site into a multipurpose park.
