Greener Alternatives To The Plastic Shower Curtain
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, especially those made from plastic, also can be changed. This article will provide a quick but useful insight into some alternatives you can choose from.
Plastic shower curtains are the number one culprit when it comes to gas or bad odour emission. They are even worse when they are new. Let us delve right into our topic for the day.
You can buy a hemp shower curtain, which is especially good for a very dry climate. This is because it takes a long time to dry so if you are living in a wet climatic area you may end up throwing it away due to frustration.
Due to the amount of time it takes for it to dry up, it is possible for it to start developing some mold and may require regular washing. The more it is washed the quicker it wears out so you need to realize the opportunity cost here . 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. When buying you have an options from purple double swag shower curtains to a brown paisley shower curtain. Just make sure it fits well with your bathroom deco.
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.
