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 lovely where to buy mickey mouse shower curtains, especially the plastic types, can be changed as well. This article will provide a quick but useful insight into some alternatives you can choose from.

One thing I hate about plastic shower curtains is that they emit bad odour. They are even worse when they are new. Let us delve right into our topic for the day.

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.

Due to the amount of time it takes for it to dry up, it is possible for it to start developing some mold and may require regular washing. The more it is washed the quicker it wears out so you need to realize the opportunity cost here . Check your local store or buy online for about $90.

Another alternative is to find those made from cloth. You can easily find a nylon one that dries quickly and machine washable. 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. When buying you have an options like a red paisley shower curtain  or simply find a purple shower curtain of your choice. Just make sure it fits well with your bathroom deco.

If you can’t part with plastic then you can buy a plastic shower curtain that don’t have the smell and are made to been “green”Another option is to simply buy yourself a plastic shower curtain that are made to be greener.
