With the wake of the “green” movement many home owners have embraced this concept and even gone as far as making their homes greener. It goes without saying then that shower curtains even your beautiful mickey mouse shower curtain, especially the plastic types, 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. This is especially true when they are new. In the next paragraph you are going to read about 3 alternatives to make your bathroom greener.

You can buy a hemp shower curtain, which is especially good for a very dry climate. 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. As you probably know continuous washing is not good for the fabric. You can find this one selling at about $90.

Another alternative is to find those made from cloth. 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. You can pick any color you want and any style like a croscill royal paisley shower curtain  or simply find discount shower curtains of your choice. Think about the look and feel of your bathroom before choosing and color and try to choose the right color combinations.
