Get the Bach ready with Kennards Hire


It’s time to head to the Bach! Get the Bach ready with Kennards Hire

As the months of summer roll around it’s time to start getting your family and friends together for “Holiday Season”. However, months away from the bach could mean that most likely the bach is still in its winter blues and in need of some TLC. In preparation of your next break, Kennards Hire NZ has put together their tips to help get your ‘home away from home’ ready for you and your family and friends.

Make a List, Check It Twice – Make sure you have two checklists; one for the tasks you need done and a second for the equipment you will need. Something to consider is breaking up the lists into inside and outside jobs to easily divide your time over a few weekends.

Fresh Air – Open all the windows and let as much light into the rooms as you can. Weeks of being shut up tight can lead to pollen and dust lying dormant. So welcome as much fresh air in as you can.

Mould – If it has been particularly rainy in your area over the colder months, there is a chance of mould build up. Check everywhere you can for mould growth, and use a pressure washer to blast away any grime or mould. Make sure you check in the roof, where mould is a common occurrence in older homes. If there is extensive growth, consult an expert to diagnose the best course of action. An anti-bacterial multi-purpose spray is a good way to reduce mould from returning.

Steam – Cleaning using a steam cleaner is an incredibly efficient method of removing dust stuck deep inside the carpet, as well as bad scents. A steam cleaner is far superior to a traditional vacuum cleaner, keeping the home cleaner for longer.

The Garden – Get rid of any dead branches and other build-up on your garden bed and lawn, this will encourage new growth. Another good trick is to aerate the lawn with a lawn roller, which will keep water from building up under the top growth, keeping your lawn looking green.

No Dunny, Isn’t Funny – Sometimes when you’re so busy, the obvious things that get overlooked like a toilet and/or shower. Sure the house may have one, but it could be inaccessible, the water may be switched off, or you don’t want to mess up the spotless job you’ve just tirelessly worked on. You can hire a portable toilet or shower that will sit outside, conveniently out of the way of your bach.

Having the right equipment will make cleaning up the homestead a breeze, so it’s best to invest in quality gear to save you the time and effort. If you don’t have all the necessary tools, your local Kennards Hire branch does, their huge range of equipment for DIY’ers makes any job easier. It’s a great way to save money on gear you may only need once a year.

To hire lawn aerators, generators, lights and other equipment you need for your next bach, visit your local Kennards Hire branch. Kennards Hire has the range of equipment to suit any job or expert in every field offering guidance with the tasks at hand.
