Why does mould appear in the first place?
Mould grows in damp areas where there is a food source such as dust, dirt or organic material. That’s why single glazed or drafty windows, where condensation and dust are common, are often a problem area.

Mould grows in damp areas where there is a food source such as dust, dirt or organic material. That’s why single glazed or drafty windows, where condensation and dust are common, are often a problem area.
What are some tips for preventing mould growth?
Clean soft furnishings regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually involves a regular light vacuum, with less frequent dry cleaning or laundering. Regularly clean windows and wipe down window surrounds and venetian blinds or shutters with a mild detergent in warm water.
Does the material of the curtains affect how much mould will grow?
Yes, consider selecting window coverings manufactured from man-made materials, particularly in damp areas such as the bathroom, kitchen and on south-facing windows. It’s best to use a wipe-able, water-resistant blind or shutter in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Even man-made fabrics don’t cope well in those environments.
How do I remove the mould?
Once mould develops it’s best to nip it in the bud as early as possible with a thorough clean. Some curtains can be hand washed (check the manufacturer’s instructions) but, for best results, we recommend taking them to a specialist cleaner. Curtain Clean services most of the North Island and takes care of all types of curtains and blinds.
Since moisture is the culprit, how can we minimise it in our homes?
- Use lids on pots and pans when cooking.
- Never hang clothes to dry inside and vent your clothes drier to the outside.

Are you an office worker on the 'hamster wheel' of life? Or perhaps you're stuck inside all day and are struggling with lethargy and lack of focus.
Well now the weather is improving, you can now finish your Wednesday 'hump day' doing something enjoyable and good for your mental, physical, and emotional health.
Walking meditation is often used by people who sit for long periods.
It can...
Improve digestion
Reduce anxiety
Improves blood sugar levels and circulation
Alleviate depression
Improves well-being
Improve sleep quality
Make exercise enjoyable
It's amazing how different we feel when paying attention to what's going on around us rather than what's swirling in our head.
These 4 free sessions will entail an easy walk from the Arts Village and around the Government Gardens along with a guided outdoor meditation.
The best thing about these sessions is the sense of community and connection with like minded people which is a massive protective factor for mental health.
And this 4 week block is completely FREE!
