How to care for extra long fabric shower curtains?

Shower curtains made of fabric are easier to clean compared to all their counterparts. As they are machine-washable, you can through them into your washing machine once a month. If your bathroom is damp or humid around the clock, your shower curtain is more prone to the development of mold and mildew. In that case, toss it in your washer to nip the problem in an instant.

We recommend you only get the extra-long shower curtain made of fabric that’s capable of tumble drying.

Also, it’s always a good idea to spread the shower curtain every single time you finish taking a shower in order to ensure the material doesn’t hold in moisture. It will also ensure that the drying process speeds up and decrease the risk of the formation of mold and mildew.

Although you are getting an extra-long shower curtain, make sure the tip doesn’t graze the wet bathroom floor as that can increase the odds of the curtain developing mildew.

What types of material are fabric shower curtains made of?

Fabric shower curtains can be made of several different types of fabric, which means you’ll have many options to choose from. Each material has its own advantages and slight disadvantages. Below, we’ll list everything you need to know about the most common fabric types.

Cotton - Cotton shower curtains are popular and they make up most of the online market, but they can be expensive. A cotton product can come in several different styles and color patterns to allow for personalization. The problem with cotton shower curtains is that they absorb moisture. This means you need a good liner.
Decorative - A decorative shower curtain often consists of faux silk and it features stunning qualities like stitched embellishments and lace borders. Although it is pretty, it does not hold well to regular use so it can’t do incredibly well in bathrooms with high traffic. However, it makes for the best option for a guest bathroom. When it is paired with excellent lining, it should function well.
Synthetic - If you’re in a search for a fabric shower curtain that’s low-maintenance, your best bet is one that’s synthetic. It can be made from either polyester or vinyl which can repel moisture. However, you would have to deal with mildew build-up. Don't worry as most synthetic fabric shower curtains are machine-washable. They are also durable and capable of lasting several years even with daily use. One thing homeowners don’t like about a synthetic fabric is that it doesn’t feel as luxurious or comfortable as cotton.
Microfiber - A microfiber shower curtain is more resistant to moisture compared to cotton and it feels so much softer compared to vinyl. It's a great option if you don’t like the water absorbing abilities of cotton but hate the touch of vinyl or polyester.
