About Eco-friendly Shower Curtains

Most households have realised the need to incorporate greener alternatives in their home improvement. It therefore make sense to realize that shower curtains even your beautiful mickey mouse shower hooks, especially the plastic types, also can be changed. This article will provide a quick but useful insight into some alternatives you can choose from.

Plastic shower curtains are the number one culprit when it comes to gas or bad odour emission. They are particularly at their worst when they are fresh from the store. Here are some few thought to help deal with this.

Buying yourself a hemp shower curtain, especially if you live in a dry area, is a good idea. 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. The more it is washed the quicker it wears out so you need to realize the opportunity cost here . You nearest retailer probably sells this one for about $90.

Another alternative is to find those made from cloth. You can easily find a nylon one that dries quickly and machine washable. You can buy yourself a nice fabric at $20, which comes with a very tight weave and repels water perfectly fine. This is a good alternative to Hemp because it dries better and does not build up mold or soap scum. There are several options to choose from in terms of color and more like a red paisley shower curtain  or simply find or find out what stores can you buy curtains on-line of your choice. Just make sure it fits well with your bathroom deco.

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.
