Shower curtains are probably one of the most used items in your bathroom, but are also the most overlooked. Unless they have an obvious stain on them, you hardly ever think of cleaning them. Many of them do not show signs of use and in some cases regularly cleaning is not enough. There may come a time when you will need to replace your shower curtain. How will you know when it is time to change your bathroom shower curtains?
The first and most obvious answer is if it gets moldy. Sometimes people get too busy to notice when this happens. They rinse off the shower curtain after every shower and think that this is enough to clean them. While this may be a short term solution, it will not keep the curtain from getting moldy in the long run. This can even be truer when you live in an area that is humid year round.
Mold takes moisture to grow and the damp conditions of a bathroom can aid in the promotion of mold growth. This can be true whether you are using one of the fabric shower curtains or a vinyl shower curtain. Fabric shower curtains may not show the mold as easily as the vinyl ones, but they can be washed in a washing machine so they will last a good deal longer with regular washings.
Another way to tell if your shower curtain needs changing is when it gets ripped at the hook area. If you can not keep the curtain on the rod, it will do you no good. One thing you can do to make the curtain last longer is to make another hole. This will only be a temporary solution as the hole you make will rip quicker than the hole that is made by the manufacturer.
Since this is a temporary solution, you will want to get a replacement curtain as soon as possible. The last thing you want is to step into the shower and go to pull the shower curtain closed and then have it rip off the hooks on you. You will end up with a wet mess on your bathroom floor that you will have to take the time to clean up.
The final way to know that you need to change your shower curtain is because you want to redecorate your bathroom. You do not want to keep the same shower curtain if the rest of your bathroom is going to be different. You will easily find a shower curtain that will match the new décor that you are going to decorate in. A shower curtain is a cost effective way to get a new look for the bathroom.
These are just a few of the ways how to tell when it is time to change the bathroom shower curtains. Simply put, there is no wrong time to change them. If they get a bit dirty with mold or when they begin to rip, you will probably want to replace them as soon as possible.
