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.

Council has decided that YOU are responsible for Flood Protection. Your property may be treated like a leaky building – blacklisted on your LIM with Plan Change 27. This plan change may also:
• Significantly reduce the value of your home
• Prevent you from doing any building work on your property – even erecting a fence
• Give them rights to use your property without asking
• Vastly increase your house insurance costs
Flood Protection is Council’s responsibility. Private properties are NOT pipes. Do not accept this plan change. There are only just days left to submit, the deadline is 18 December 2020. Remember everyone in your household can submit. VOLUME counts.
What can you do?
- Submit against the plan change – email rejectplan27bop@gmail.com for help and a template response (OR see below for a letter template)
- Submit against the time frame - visit www.papamoaprogressive.co.nz... or email rejectplan27bop@gmail.com for help and a template response
- Read on to understand how they are doing this – see attached flyer
- Tell your neighbours, friends, post on FB and neighbourly – ask them to submit too

Attn: Democracy Services, Marty Grenfell, Susan Jamieson, Carol Hair,
I am writing in response to a council letter dated November 10, 2020 regarding proposed Plan Changes including Plan Change 27.
I formally request that the Council:
• Send redrafted information letters to all property owners affected by Plan Change 27 containing clearer information and explaining the potential implications of the change on home owners and residential development.
• Extend the submission period to April 30, 2021 to allow adequate time for consideration.
• Make information sessions available in February to provide a timely opportunity for all residents to digest the information and respond.
• Amend the submission format to allow homeowners to make submissions in their own words, rather than in a prescribed format.
The information available online fails to describe the impact on property owners. As such it is misleading. This time frame for submissions is unreasonable and I note is on the cusp of the festive season when residents are planning holidays.
The letter council sent contains an error in that it tells readers the changes took legal effect on November 16, 2020. Notwithstanding that, many residents impacted by the changes have received no communication from council.
The times and locations of the public consultations discriminate against anyone working full time as sessions are largely during work hours (3-6pm). Just one weekend option is available.
Yours sincerely,
