Traditional shower curtains are made out of PVC, a plastic that has a lot of downsides. Some newer shower curtains are made out of PEVA or EVA, which is better, but still plastic. A good alternative is a cloth shower curtain that can be washed in the washing machine, but what about shower curtain rings?!
Shower curtain rings are generally plastic and even non-plastic ones are designed for plastic shower curtains, not cloth shower curtains that have to be removed regularly for washing. It takes forever to remove and rehang a shower curtain on traditional shower curtain rings! That’s why I love shower hooks. But do you know what I love even more?! Double-sided shower hooks! That way, you can still have a decorative shower curtain on the outside.
My decorative shower curtain is a very neutral linen one. I plan to have it for a long time. I imagine my towels will wear out before my shower curtain, so I’d rather play with color with my towels and leave the shower curtain neutral. Here's my set-up. We've been using it for four years now and it's still in great shape.
You don´t have long term experience yet right? I already sewed two curtains by myself but after a while they started molding at the bottom. I didn´t want to buy one from not organic cotton Do you know the fabric of yours? Maybe i choose a bad material for that purpose
ReplyDeleteMine is cotton canvas. I've been using it for four years. It has some mold stains. Washing in hot water will kill the mold. If you squeeze the excess water out after showering and then close the curtain on both side, so it is spread out, it should dry faster and be less likely to mold. Also ventilate the humid air out of the bathroom if you can. Good luck!
