Bathtub weekend and reminiscing

Written By LORNE ROELOFSEN

Hello everyone!

This upcoming weekend marks one of the most memorable events we have here in Nanaimo every summer—it's Bath Tub Weekend! Every year, on the last weekend of July, we gather for the exciting bathtub races in Departure Bay. It's a fantastic event that brings joy to people of all ages!

We want to give a big shoutout to the participants who build and race these incredible bathtub boats. It’s quite the event and definitely a great workout! This tradition brings back fond memories for us at Classic Care, as we used to have our own bathtub boat, and Lorne himself used to race it!

In honor of this fun-filled weekend, we wanted to reminisce and show our appreciation for everyone involved in making this event happen. Attached are some nostalgic photos of our Classic Care bathtub boat and Lorne in action.

Good luck to all the racers! Get out there this weekend, show your support, and let’s have some fun!































































































0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas. We use a unique, long-lasting carpet cleaning process that is both natural and healthy for your pets and children.
