Most households have realised the need to incorporate greener alternatives in their home improvement. It therefore make sense to realize that shower curtains even your awesome mickey shower curtain hooks and curtain, especially plastic ones, 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.

Plastic shower curtains are the number one culprit when it comes to gas or bad odour emission. 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. The reason why I favour it in drier areas is that it takes quite sometime 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. 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. There are several options to choose from in terms of color and more like paisley shower curtains  or simply find a purple shower curtain of your choice. Think about the look and feel of your bathroom before choosing and color and try to choose the right color combinations.

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.
