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 lovely mickey mouse shower curtain, especially the plastic types, can be changed as well. Below is a write up about this subject matter and how you can incorporate the “green” concept in your own home.
One thing I hate about plastic shower curtains is that they emit bad odour. They are even worse 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. The reason why I favour it in drier areas is that it takes quite sometime 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 can find this one selling at about $90.
You can also avoid buying any kind of a plastic curtain and go for fabric. Make sure the one you buy dries up quickly and can be washed using a washing machine. My best pick is nylon but you can try out other options. 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 paisley shower curtains or simply find cheap shower curtains of your choice. Think about the look and feel of your bathroom before choosing and color and try to choose the right color combinations.
If you can’t part with plastic then you can buy a plastic shower curtain that don’t have the smell and are made to been “green”Another option is to simply buy yourself a plastic shower curtain that are made to be greener.
