What are the shower curtains made of ? Fabric content is specified on each shower curtain eg: vinyl, plastic, polyester cotton or polyester & cotton mix.(see details for each one by clicking on the small pictures in the online shop) Where a curtain is specified as textile, we mean this as fabric& NOT vinyl or plastic.

All shower curtains are treated to be resistant to mildew and water in the shower and manufacturers have their own special treatments eg: Teflon, Fluorocarbon Anti bacterial etc.You will still need to wash your curtain regularly to maintain its appearance.

Please note - vinyl liners are not necessary with fabric curtains unless you have high water pressure, are using a power shower or the shower head is pointing directly at the curtain at close quarters. (in these cases you may need to use a liner or a vinyl shower curtain)

The majority of shower curtains have weighted bottom hems except for the vinyl/plastic. Some curtains are made from heavier weight fabric so don't need to have a weighted hem - this is indicated in the product details.

Care of your shower curtain

Each manufacturer has their own recommendation for care of their shower curtains. Most fabric curtains in our online shop are gentle machine washable at 30/40 degrees.

Fabric curtains should be gently washed on a regular basis drip & dried. It is also important to stretch out to dry after every use and following these simple guidelines will help to avoid a build up of soap deposits and mildew.

Please resist the urge to tumble dry or use a hot iron on your shower curtain. Excessive heat can damage the special water resistant coating on the curtain and in the case of plastic shower curtains cause it to melt before your eyes ! New curtains soon lose their stiffness and the creases will drop out if allowed to drip dry.

It is generally the case that vinyl or plastic curtains & liners need only a wipe down or spraying every other week or so.

A cool iron can be used on the fabric curtains but should be avoided on plastic & vinyl - creases in new vinyl curtains will fall with use & respond well to the heat of a soaking in bath tub of hot water.
