There are some things that you can do to make your shower curtain last you longer. There are certain little helpful and handy hints that are designed to keep your bathroom looking clean.

The biggest problem with shower curtains is the resultant moulds that tend to form on it because of always being in a damp environment. One thing that you can do is to remove the curtain maybe once every two or three days and hang it out in the sun. This will give it a chance to completely dry and kill any germs and bacteria that are likely to be on it.

Another option is to wash your curtain whenever you do your laundry or more regularly if need be. The trick is adding a cup of vinegar and bleaching agent to your normal detergent. Throw in some white towels and load the machine to its usually capacity, if it still does not fill to capacity.

Do not use hot water to wash the curtain as it might melt or possibly shrink in size. When you are done washing hang it out in the sun to dry, do not throw it in the dryer as it might get damaged.

After you are done washing soak it in salt water and vinegar and then hang it on the rod and leave it to dry from there. The function of the salt water and vinegar is to counter the formation of fungi and moulds.

You can use some of the sprays that are now available for use on shower curtains. The sprays are also designed to prevent the formation of moulds and mildew. Remember to always wash down any soap foams that fall on the shower curtain; they are the ones that usually become moldy.

Tip About On Making Quilted Shower Curtains

Do you want to know more about how to make quilted shower curtains online? Let’s just say you have found what you have been looking for. I believe this post will satisfy your desire.

Before engaging yourself in this project you need to be well equipped with some information and tips that may seem trivial but will prove useful along the way. So if you can just take a few minutes to read right to the end and you will be glad you did.

You may have tried hard to find what you are looking for in stores to no avail – hence the decision to do it yourself. For instance you may be considering where to buy extra long shower curtain or ringless shower curtains {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with a variety of certain colours but the problem is that your local bathroom store doesn’t carry them. So what do you do? I say make them yourself.

Here are the recommendations promised earlier.

You can make it without putting any batting in it to make it lighter.

Quilts can make the curtain porous so you need to me tactful with your stitching.

I suggest you make a quilt top and then use plastic for the lining. You can just saw the quilts at the top and then find some nice rivets to use.

If you choose to sew the quilt on to the liner then it will most probably leak, hence my recommendation to consider sewing the quilt at the top. Unless you don’t have much of a problem with the leakage.

When making it like a quilt top that is pieced together you can then put a backing on it to hide the seams.

You can also make buttonholes across the top of the hooks instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner. This way you can wash the liner separately or throw it away when it wears out.
