When picking a shower curtain you should consider what you like
best, a relaxing theme is most desired in a bathroom. Bathrooms

Shower curtains are a piece of cloth intended to block water from
spraying out of the shower area. Shower curtains are hung over the
bathtub, usually by a rod using various kinds of hooks. The purpose
of a shower curtain is to keep running water inside the shower.
Shower curtains are also used for privacy. Shower curtains come
in a variety of colors and styles to fit anyone’s taste.
Caring for a fabric shower curtain is simple. Just take it off
the shower curtain rings and wash in hot water, about once a month.
Adding 1 cup of bleach kills bacteria. When the shower curtain is
finished washing hang it back on the hooks to dry.
If you have a plastic shower curtain it should be wiped down with
detergent and a damp sponge, again once a month. Plastic shower
curtains can also be thrown in the washer. Wash with two towels;
the friction will help get the shower curtain cleaner. Hang back
on the shower curtain rings to dry.
