All vinyl shower curtains are treated with a biocide that makes them resistant to the formation of mold and mildew. In the event that any mold appears, it is due to the fact that soap scum has been allowed to accumulate on the surface of the curtain. The scum is a food source for the mold. Attention to the care instructions will add to the overall life and appearance of the vinyl product.

Fabric shower curtains are NOT treated with a biocide because it would wash out after only two to three washings and we therefore consider it pointless! Once again, the culprit is the soap scum which is a food source for the bacteria (mold & mildew). Following our care instructions, will give you problem free and hygienic product. Oxygen bleach is an excellent product that helps to eliminate tiny air-borne mold spores that cling to the fabric fibers.

Waterproof: All vinyl shower curtains are 100% waterproof which means that water cannot migrate through the material.

Water repellent: Most fabric shower curtains require no liner because they are treated with a water repellent finish. With this treatment, water will “bead” off the curtain. It is not recommended that a shower nozzle be aimed directly towards the fabric, as some water can migrate through the curtain.

You will always extend the usable life of your fabric shower curtain if you protect it with a shower curtain liner.
