Have you ever had a shower curtain look so grungy, it made you wince? I have, but the thought of the headache inducing smell of a new curtain has left me wincing even more, especially after reading the latest EWG Enviroblog entry, that says the new shower curtain smell is caused by toxic chemicals like phthalates and VOCs. One shower curtain that was tested released 108 different volatile organic compounds!
I'll be keeping an eye out for PVC free shower curtains hitting store shelves. In the meantime, I have opted to wash my curtain and it looks brand new.
Happy Showering!!!

You are my idol! I have been washing my shower curtains forever... just remember to throw some rags or towels in with them when you wash them. It helps to get rid of soap scum!
Great idea on the rags, thankfully we haven't had much soap scum after switching to Dr. Bronner's soaps, but did have to do 2 cycles since my Charlie's Soap didn't quite get all the mildew off in one round due to our seriously hard water. I've been washing our shower curtains for years and am happy to say our curtains are 5-8 years old. :)
