Ditch the vinyl shower curtain asap!
It’s going to constantly be off-gassing and releasing DEHP into the air. You’ve got a few options: you can go the 100% cotton or hemp shower curtains, but I personally find them to be awkward, heavy, and a pain the butt to wash. I opt for 100% untreated polyester. Normally I’m not a big fan of synthetics, but in this case, it’s inexpensive, easy to wash, and of all the synthetic fabrics, off gasses the least (you can wash it right away if that makes you feel better). Just make sure you’re not buying a polyester curtain that’s been treated with any kind of antimicrobial or antifungal treatment – it will usually say “mildew resistant” or something like that! This type of curtain can be found in most home stores, and on Amazon.con and should run from $8-$15.
Simple solution to a stinky problem!
