Not if you wash them frequently.[/quote]

I love full glass shower doors - OR shower curtains that are washed between each guest stay.  There's a Hilton we stay at when visiting our daughter and the tub/shower has one of those curtain rod extender things, giving it a little more room.  The shower curtains are always pristine and they clearly wash them for every guest.  I think they're made of some kind of waterproof fabric, not plastic.  At any rate, shower curtains are fine with me if they're like that.[/quote]

Most likely they just replace the shower curtains regularly. They may have a way to clean them with something industrial grade, like they do with hotel sheets, but because of the moisture, that's not going to work for long. They probably have to throw them out regularly.

I can see why a hotel would opt for a metal and glass enclosure that could be scrubbed down instead. The cost of cleaning and replacement would really add up when you multiple by room and by hotel. And with hotels trying to cut back on cleaning staff as well due to labor shortages (which are likely to get worse in the US and Europe due to stricter immigration laws adopted by right wing governments), it makes sense to invest in a lower maintenance option.[/quote]
