In recent years people have started realising the importance of saving the environment any way they can. With that in mind, many house owners have started incorporating the “green” movement in their homes. It is therefore a no brainer to comprehend the fact that shower curtains even your beautiful mickey mouse shower curtain hooks, especially those made from plastic, 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.
The terrible thing about plastic shower curtains is that they tend to emit some not so ozone friendly gassing. This is especially true when they are new. Here are some few thought to help deal with this.
If you live in a dry climatic area then consider buying Hemp shower curtains. 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. As you probably know continuous washing is not good for the fabric. You nearest retailer probably sells this one for 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. Find something that comes with a very tight weave and can repel water adequately. This could cost you something like $20. I prefer this one from Hemp because it is capable of drying faster and repels mold growth better. There are several options to choose from in terms of color and more like paisley shower curtains or simply find amazon shower curtain of your choice. While you are making your choices just make sure that it still enhances the look and feel of your bathroom.
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.
