Shower Curtains Basics
It can be hard to relax in the tub when your bathroom is in disarray. Sure, shower curtains serve a practical function by keeping water off the floor, but shower curtains are also essential to the design, motif, and the general “feel” of your bathroom. The shower curtain you have will likely stand out more than anything else in your bathroom- so choose your shower curtains wisely.
A shower curtain can add a pop of color where there is no color and a sense of design where people sometimes don’t think to add a sense of design. One of the best ways to start a theme for your bathroom is choosing a great shower curtain. Shower curtains are often the center point of a bathroom. Shower curtains come in a wide variety of fabric, pattern and styles to compliment the design of your bathroom or home. These range from simple, elegant designs to unique and unusual colors and patterns. Replacing the curtain is the easiest and cheapest way to redecorate your bathroom. Choose your material and then select matching accessories to match the bathroom and furniture.
The choices in a curtain for the shower are abundant. You can find prints from traditional or contemporary styles and everything in between. Once you have chosen the fabric, you can select the rod and curtain rings. These help determine the overall look of the room and are inexpensive. Today curtain rings and even rods compliment the shower curtain itself. Once you have chosen and put up your shower curtain find accessories that compliment the theme of your shower curtain. This will create continuity to the entire room.
One thing to remember with shower curtains to clean them regularly. Clean your shower curtain with a cleaning solution that is made to kill mold. Most materials used in curtains can’t be put in the washing machine. Check the cleaning instructions that came with your curtain. If it can be machine washed, use hot water and a little bleach to kill mold and germs. Another option is to wash the curtain and apply lemon juice. Set the curtain outside in the sun. The sun reacts with the lemon juice to kill mold. Make sure your bathroom is well ventilated. Use the vent when you shower. If you don’t have a vent, consider having one installed or open the bathroom window. This is not as effective as a vent but it will help. After washing your curtain, soak it in salt water before drying. The salt water will help prevent future mold growth.
