100% organic linen shower curtain and draperies - 100% biodegradable! PVC-free and chemical-free. Please watch VDO in Image Gallery for more info. 1) Use with or without a liner 2) Can use our 100% natural wax to waterproof the curtain. Wax the water side plus 10" on the bottom of the other side or wax both sides. Waxing will darken it with the amber color of the wax. 3) It's important to have good ventilation in the bathroom (if you don't, just put a small fan there to circulate the air) 4) Watch out for soap and shampoo scum and wash the curtain as needed 5) Waxed curtains are no longer machine washable. Reapply the wax every year or two or as needed. Wipe with damp cloth to clean. Use our Castile soap canvas cleaner for a deeper clean. The idea is to wipe stuff off the waxed surface but not too hard that it will rub off the wax.

Washing the curtain every few weeks helps prevent the buildup of soap residues, which are clogging the fiber openings and causing mould to start.
Keep off wet floors and stretched out on rod at all times to prevent moisture buildup. Keep bathroom well-ventilated. Air must be able to circulate ALL around the wet curtain to prevent mould.
To line or not to line? While it is the most exciting thing in the world to use natural fiber curtains instead of plastic or PVC as a shower curtain, there are considerations on whether to wax it or use it with a liner. We have been making organic cotton, linen and hemp shower curtains since 1997. We have gathered tons of feedback from actual customers as well as our own experience. The verdict is this. For people who consider this a huge investment (compared to sweatshop PVC and plastic curtains) that they want to last forever, use a liner. We have had countless customers write in that they use their linen shower curtains without a liner and their curtains have lasted for years, 5, 10 years or longer. For them and for us, it's totally worth it to use a natural fiber shower curtain on its own without a liner. It's like planting a tree whose zone is marginal in your area - there are elements of risk involved; there might be a freak year where the weather goes much lower than your average and you might lose the tree. But you plant it anyway for the joy and pleasure of the fruits it will provide you however many years it survives. The price you pay for your new natural shower curtain is a function of natural organic fibers as well as sweatshop-free labor. There is not much margin left over, just enough for us to continue to make awesome hemp and linen products. We aren't able to guarantee what will happen to your shower curtain as there are so many factors involved in its durability, such as the moisture level in your area, in your bathroom, the kinds of soap or shampoo you use, and the fact that it is 100% from nature and hence will react to your local conditions, as opposed to something that is synthetically or chemically produced. If you still wish to use your hemp shower curtain without a liner, there are some measures you can take that will exponentially increase the chance of your hemp shower curtains lasting for many, many years.
The biggest enemies of linen shower curtains? Mold and mildew. As you will see when you receive your curtain, while we have selected the most robust, strong, and beautiful flax linen weave imaginable to make our hemp shower curtain, it's still a 100% plant-based and 100% natural product. If mold or mildew gets a start on your linen shower curtain and multiply, your curtain may only last 6 months or one year or two years before the mold eats away at your cherished natural shower curtain. How does mold start? On a surface that is constantly moist in a space that is not well ventilated. Bodycare residues like soap scum and shampoo scum are another enemy of the natural shower curtain. You will notice that your new curtain only takes 15-60 minutes to dry when hung off the floor or away from the side of the bathtub. As soap scum attaches itself to the curtain, the curtain will take longer and longer to dry because soap scum clogs the fibers of your linen shower curtain fabric, which will eventually lead to mildew and mold. That is why it's important to use borax or some other natural cleaner to wash away the soap scum. The main reason why some people's curtains last longer than others is in the body care products they use, as well as moisture and air circulation. Some soaps and shampoos leave more scum behind on a curtain than others.
What can you do to ensure that your linen shower curtain stays "healthy"? Ventilate. Leave the fan on for 30-60 minutes after each time you use the curtain. Make sure the curtain is off the floor and away from the sides of bathtubs. Fresh air is great. Wash your curtain every 3-4 months and hang to dry (no dryer). Watch what kind of residues your soap or shampoo leave behind on the curtain. Then, chances are you'll notice any issues well before they develop. If you have a mold issue in your bathroom now, then our advice is to line your flax linen shower curtain for sure. Many customers wax one side of the shower curtain or the bottom half of one side (the side facing the water). This will protect your curtain from getting wet, because the wax will make your shower curtain waterproof. We offer this natural fabric wax that can be use for our linen, hemp and organic cotton shower curtains as well as our natural fiber shoes, bags, hats, and jackets.
