Are shower curtains passe?

[Anonymous]

No, i much prefer to take a bath with shower curtains that i can open fully than to be half caged in with glass. And ditto with kids - so much easier (and more fun) with shower curtains.

Good to think about as I get ready to finally renovate our 1970 2BA house. Shower curtains in both. I’m thinking the master bathroom would be upgraded to glass and I’d keep the other bathtub/shower with a curtain.

Even grosser than shower curtain and liner was the plastic accordion shower door original to our house.

This makes sense

Glass doors are higher end. Cheap contractors just put up a bar for a curtain and walk away. Doors last for years, curtains don’t. They make doors that are even easier to maintain now that are trackless. They make doors that are perfectly see through or that swing out. Doors have come a long way.

We have both. Love the look of glass, but hate the extra time it takes to squeegee down after every single shower. With curtains, I have several in rotation and they wash very well. I prefer the fabric ones from Ikea. They're not completely water proof, but do a good job. Can't stand plastic liners.

If you wash the shower curtain and liner regularly, it doesn't stink. Just toss them in the washer and then hang them to dry. I find it way more time consuming and gross to clean glass shower doors-hard water stains, streaks, etc.

What kind of liner? Plastic?

DP but I put the clear plastic liners in the washer with some old towels (the ones we use for mud, etc). The towels kind of scrub the plastic. Sometimes I run it twice if the liner got folded up and it’s still scummy.

I hate shower curtains. If I had to have one, it would be absolutely clear and washable.
I much prefer glass.

With kids, I definitely use a tub with a shower curtain and look for that in an house. Even sliding glass doors are a pain when bathing toddlers.

+1 Doors are a pain if you bath little kids.

Or dogs!

Yep to both. I need at least one tub in my house with a curtain. I do like the look of doors though.

I never thought to do this with the plastic liner, I may try it. It doesn’t mash it all up and put weird creases in it?

I have kids — much prefer a rubbery plastic shower curtain, regularly cleaned.

PP with 1970 house. I keep an ample supply of white, heavy duty, plastic liners that I pick up at TJ Maxx for about $10 or less. I remove the soap scummy, mildewy liner, run it in a hot wash with small amount of bleach & cleaning rags/towels and drip dry. Sometimes, I’ll put back, some I’ve used as a paint drop cloth or tarp or temp trunk liner- others I’ll donate once cleaned.

Your shower curtain stinks? You know your supposed wash it right?

No curtains are fine, doors are hard to clean and cut off the look of rooms space.

Agree on shower curtains are better in kids bathrooms.
