With the wake of the “green” movement many home owners have embraced this concept and even gone as far as making their homes greener. It goes without saying then that shower curtains even your beautiful mickey mouse shower curtain, especially the plastic types, can also be changed. This article will provide a quick but useful insight into some alternatives you can choose from.
The terrible thing about plastic shower curtains is that they tend to emit some not so ozone friendly gassing. This is especially true when they are new. In the next paragraph you are going to read about 3 alternatives to make your bathroom greener.
You can buy a hemp shower curtain, which is especially good for a very dry climate. My reason for saying only those living in drier areas should consider this is because it takes a longer time to dry.
Its flip side is that due to the amount of time it takes to dry you find that it starts to develop some mold spots, which then requires regular washing. As you probably know continuous washing is not good for the fabric. You can find this one selling at about $90.
You can also avoid buying any kind of a plastic curtain and go for fabric. You can easily find a nylon one that dries quickly and machine washable. Find something that comes with a very tight weave and can repel water adequately. This could cost you something like $20. This is a good alternative to Hemp because it dries better and does not build up mold or soap scum. When buying you have an options like black and white traditional paisley fabric shower curtains or simply find discount shower curtain of your choice. Think about the look and feel of your bathroom before choosing and color and try to choose the right color combinations.
I said I hate plastic, yes, but I will not withhold the truth and not tell you that there are a few green curtains that you can buy – if you must stick with plastic.
