Many a foreign object can flick onto the surface of the wallpapers in your home that can range from food to crayon to fly spray, the list goes on. Like any textile, wallpapers do 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 more deeper clean.
To better understand how to care for your wallcoverings we need to first understand the different types of wallpaper on the market and their cleaning durability. The main three classifications are:
1. Washable: Coated papers (light weight vinyl) would fall under this category. A mild detergent and water can be used to occasionally wipe surface of wallcovering. Not suitable for high traffic areas due to light cleaning and inability to remove stains or contaminants without damage.
2. Scrubbable: Generally heavy vinyl’s, these types of wallcoverings are suited to higher traffic areas as they can withstand scrubbing to remove stains and dirt more effectively.
3. Spongeable: The most delicate of the three methods with wall coverings primarily used for decorative effect (uncoated). Best maintained by using a dry clean sponge/eraser or with a lightly dampened cloth and avoiding heavy water use.

The Snapper pilot will begin in October on the Johnsonville Rail Line, subject to the final completion of commercial negotiations.
Since its launch in 2008, Snapper cards have been used for the overwhelming majority of bus trips in the capital.
Wellington was originally meant to add card payments to trains back in 2015, under a Waka Kotahi plan to expand Auckland’s AT HOP card to the capital.

In March, several classrooms in the school's C Block were evacuated and sealed off after unsafe levels of black mould were detected. Following more testing, thirteen learning spaces and a dance studio were closed which has forced senior students to work from home when term two started this week.
After a month of outrage and claims it failed to act, the Ministry of Education announced last week it intended to demolish the problematic building but the school’s chairman of the board of trustees, Hamish Bowen, says other parts of the school such as the E and M Blocks also needed to go,.
“It’s easy to fixate on C Block as the only problem, but it goes wider than that. Other buildings built around the same time have the same problems.”
