How to Prevent Mouldy Curtains and Blinds

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

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.

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.

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.

I have acquired and tended to a large peace lily plant, it’s slowly recovering and doing well with flowers already blooming and ready for a good home. It comes in its own large pot with base and needs transport to pick it up if anyone is interested in it.

This is a two person lift pot as it’s heavy.

So, stick food in, particularly at the top of the fridge and it might freeze but drinks never do and they come out perfectly chilled. Food can be put in there for a short time if you need it for a party say. Dimensions. 63cm x 63cm x 134cm. We live just off Otumoetai road. You will need a vehicle capable of taking the fridge or towing a trailer. First come, first served.

Furniture free for anyone who wants it.

It does need repair (good for a handy person) but is still useable as it is. The lazyboy is in good working order, it's just the fabric which is a bit old.

You may have noticed quite a few homes are currently being offered for sale by Deadline Sale.

A deadline sale is where a home is marketed for a set period with an advertised end date.

Chat with me to find out more about the deadline sale process -0274 951 536

Summary of important things to know


If a home is being sold by deadline sale, the seller sets a date and buyers can make an offer at any time before that date (if advertised that the property can be “sold prior”).
The seller may indicate a price guide, and buyers can offer more or less than that price for the seller to consider.


Buyers can attach conditions, ie approved finance 


Sellers can also attach terms and conditions to the sale, ie settlement date


If you as the buyer can’t meet the conditions of your Sale & Purchase agreement or need an extension of time to meet those conditions, you need to talk to your lawyer or conveyancer and the real estate agent as soon as possible.

You will pay a deposit either on acceptance of the agreement by the seller or on the agreement becoming unconditional (depending on the terms of the offer).

You pay the balance of the purchase price on settlement day (when the property is scheduled to change ownership). Your lawyer does this for you.

For further explanation of the deadline sale process chat with me - my advice is given freely & without obligation.

Save this post so you can refer back to it at a later date

Forever home for small dog

Graham from Pyes Pa

We lost our little Jack Russell some time ago and thought we would not want another dog. The thought of a boisterous puppy needing toilet training put us off. But if anyone is faced with having to give up a small dog we could consider providing a loving forever home for one.
