Tips to keep your shower curtains beautiful

How to keeping your shower curtains beautiful

Mold is a problem all over the bathroom, and the shower curtain is no exception. Mold thrives in warm, damp environments, such as your shower. The mold can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. In addition, bacteria can grow on a dirty shower curtain. This can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems, young children or the elderly. Keeping your curtain clean is the best way to prevent illness.

The shower curtain is exposed to moisture, dirt and soap scum on a continual basis. Both of these items are known breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which can damage fabric curtains and leave unsightly stains on every shower curtain. By putting a vinyl shower curtain liner behind your actual shower curtain; you are placing a barrier between the harmful elements (water and dirt and soap scum) and your shower.

Sometimes a shower curtain that is made of fabric will also have a shower liner of fabric. Don't be confused, you will still need a vinyl shower curtain liner to protect your shower curtain. The shower liner of fabric is to add fullness to the fabric shower curtain. In some design schemes, the shower liner of fabric is an accent color or pattern that complements the overall style of the ensemble. When you are buying a vinyl shower curtain liner; they range in price greatly.

You can go with a very cheap version that will cost you five to ten dollars. You get what you pay for here. The grommets usually are not made of rust free aluminum. The thickness of the vinyl is generally very thin and prone to tearing. The top of the vinyl shower liner is most commonly not doubled over and stitched. The holes that hold the shower rings will rip easily with little use and you will need to replace your vinyl shower curtain liner.

For a little more money you can really do yourself a favor: purchase a mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner. The mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner has rust free grommets and two layers of vinyl. The vinyl shower curtain liner is then backed by a shower liner of fabric. This is no ordinary fabric. It is nylon that has been treated with a special mildew resistant substance.

The mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner offers easy care and maintenance. You just throw it into the washer. A mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner works well with a shower liner made of fabric. The vinyl shower curtain liner is placed in the tub to protect everything from water and the shower liner of fabric is placed outside the tub for aesthetic quality.

In the effort to prevent nasty mold and mildew; the following items should be soaked in a water filled washing machine with one cup of vinegar and one cup of salt.


* The shower curtain. Most shower curtains can be placed in the washer, however check your manufacturer's care instructions to be sure.

* The shower liner of fabric. These usually can be washed without any problem. Once again check care labels to be sure.

* The vinyl shower curtain liner. All vinyl shower curtain liners should be machine washable.

Dissolve the salt completely in the washer before adding the shower curtain items. The colors of your items should all be compatible for washing together. If not soak like items in separate loads.

Stylish And Effective Safeguards

In a bathroom setting, there are many things that can occur in terms of various bacteria as a result of the damp conditions as well as water damage. From shower curtains getting soaked and growing, to bacteria laden pools that gather in hard to reach places outside of the shower; there are many different potentially unsettling problems that result in the bathroom.

Most of these problems arise from the shower, as the shower is the main source of water and water vapor being released into the space. As a result, a vinyl or fabric shower curtain liner can drastically improve upon these problems and help prevent any future health risks or damage to accessories or other property within the space.

A fabric shower curtain liner not only adds specific maintenance and safety functions to your bathroom and particularly, your shower; but it also plays a role in contributing to the theme of the space as well. A curtain liner offers a sleek look as a backdrop to your curtain if there are any transparencies within it. As a result, choosing a specific color or material might play a vital role in how your shower curtain ends up looking in the end.

Fabric Shower Curtain Materials

The material of your fabric curtain liner will more than likely come in one of two popular choices; cotton or polyester. Both have benefits in terms of functionality and style; however one is slightly dominant over the other in each category.

Cotton liners are generally slightly more susceptible to the problems that come with the damp conditions; mainly because the material is much more absorbent than polyester. However, cotton liners come in a variety of different colors and styles giving them more breathing room in terms of being incorporated into a pre-existing theme that is heavily dependent on the shower curtain. As such, a cotton liner should be considered if you are worried that a bland or neutral based backdrop will clash with your overall bathroom theme. One thing to ensure, however, is that your cotton shower curtain liner has been treated to be resistant to dampness.

Polyester curtain liners offer much more in terms of longevity and functionality over the cotton liners. This is due to the fact that polyester is much more resistant to water, and can repel the minor splashes and mist that occur as a result of showering. However, in terms of styles, these liners are widely available in simply neutral based solid colors, such as black, brown, or white. If you are content with your theme and do not have any doubts as to whether or not a solid back splash will function well with your shower curtain, then this is the option for you.

In all, a fabric shower curtain liner is a fantastic way to add some upgraded style to your shower curtain as well as functionality to your space and avoid any problems with water damage down the road. Just ensure you consider the material of the specific liner you are thinking about purchasing to decide as to whether or not increased performance or aesthetically pleasing qualities are more important for your particular theme.

Fabric shower curtains cleaning tips


When a fabric shower curtains become dirty, nobody wants to be taking a shower or a bath. In fact, because they are exposed to constant moisture, they can also develop mold and mildew. Being in such damp conditions and with such soap scum build up - well, you're going to have a dirty fabric shower curtain on your hands.

However, if your curtain does not have a tag or you purchased it from an estate or yard sale and have no idea of the brand, we wanted to provide you with some basic cleaning options.

Usually, fabric shower curtains are made from polyester, cotton, or a blend. Because of this, the material is machine washable. We recommend you start with cold water. Then, to add softness to the fabric, helping it hang beautifully, you might also consider using liquid fabric softener. Although a dryer on low heat would probably not hurt, it would be best to allow the shower curtain to air dry, inside the shower or outside on the clothesline.

To prevent the buildup of mold and mildew on your fabric shower curtains, you can actually soak them in salt water. For this, all you have to do is hang the wet shower curtain up after being soaked, without rinsing. Additionally, you want to keep your bathroom well ventilated, which can be done with windows, keeping the door cracked slightly while bathing or showering, and a bathroom fan.

Then, if your fabric shower curtain is clean with the exception of a spot or two, you can always use spot cleaners such as Shout. Usually, spraying the spot and then using a soft-bristle brush will do the trick. If not, you may need to soak the fabric shower curtain overnight to help remove the stain. Of course, a plastic or vinyl shower liner is essential, which will protect the fabric to help keep it clean.

Tips for buying showing curtains that Compliment Your Style



There is a way to buy shower curtains that are unique and that will display your creativity. Shower curtains come in different colors, sizes, shapes and texture. If you want go with black to show off your darker side, a red one to show off your sensual side or even on that shows off your love of sports.

If you prefer a decorative star bath curtain, you will kill two birds with one stone: getting a decoration for your bathroom and enjoying the desired privacy while having a bath. A star curtain gives style and simplicity to your bathroom without losing the natural feel within. You may choose the best color, which can match the general color setting and mood of your bathroom.

You may also opt for a pink curtain for your bathroom if your bathroom looks dull. Definitely, you would not wish to shower while wearing a sad face. Obtaining a pink curtain for your bathroom will change the look on your face by making you merry as you use your bathroom. These pink curtains can be purchased from specialized retail and online stores from wherever you are. You can purchase the most appropriate quality that will not only last for long, but also ensure that you shower with the confidence that your privacy is very secure.

Choosing the most appropriate color for your curtains might determine your mood and state of happiness. If you choose a dark, black or dull shower curtain, you will likely have a morose mood all day long. If you also have little children around your home, accord them a better mood with a smile on their innocent faces with the most artistic and good colored pattern. You can also purchase the shower drapes that are relatively easy to wash or clean. Pure white bathroom curtains may uplift the look of your bathroom by giving it a dazzling touch. However, you might find it difficult to clean the pure white curtain once it has absorbed all sorts of dirt. If you also have a separate bathroom for your children, consider purchasing mostly plastic curtains. This will be easier to wash since the children may apply all sorts of dirt to the curtain.

The shower curtain may just be the biggest design decision you make for your bathroom. You want it to be consistent with the rest of the room, but you don't want that to limit your creative choice. Choose one that fits your style and make sure it adds a real stylish touch to your newly remodeled bathroom.
