Dilemna: My shower curtain liner needs to be replaced, but I'm so tired of buying new vinyl liners. I have tried washing the liner but it still has little spots and its now ripped. Plus, these vinyl liners, however monetarily inexpensive they seem at the time, we do end up paying for them in the long run. And not just by buying many throughout our lifetime, but paying for the time it takes them to decompose in the landfill...and since they are typically
PVC, well, they don't really decompose, at least not in our lifetime.
Solution: a hemp shower curtain
These don't even need a liner! From what I have read (I am saving up to buy one now) they will get wet like any fabric but Hemp is naturally antimicrobial, durable and machine washable. It also is PVC and
VOC free (vinyl liners
off gas so much! Not good for you, and the manufacturing process is not good for the ozone.)
When you are in the market for replacing your vinyl liner, think hemp!
There are many products out there...try to get something organic and made in the USA.
