Eco Friendly Shower Curtain

If you are on the market to purchase a new shower curtain, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get one that’s PVC free. I am amazed at how many people still use vinyl shower curtains in their bathrooms. Not only do they look cheap and tacky, but they smell funny too. Just imagine the toxins you’re inhaling each time you take a shower. Keep your bathroom as ventilated as possible. Turn your vent fan on or open a bathroom window to help prevent mold from growing on your walls and ceiling.

Healthier, ecofriendly curtain alternatives are available in organic cotton, hemp and linen. Try to find a curtain that has a tight weave so that it resists water better. Linen is more mildew resistant than cotton. You can wash and air dry the curtain if it gets moldy.

Sure, the eco friendly curtain alternatives cost more than a PVC curtain, but having to replace a nasty PVC curtain every year or two won’t save you money in the long run.
