Longterm review - 2009 purchase
This is a long term review of the InterDesign white shower curtain that I purchased back in 2009. I recently purchased a replacement one, but I wanted to write this review to say that for the price and ability to wash the shower curtain, I think the quality surpassed my expectations. The curtain is made from polyester and it's strong enough to be placed in a clothes washer which I did every 3 months. This curtain was used in my master bathroom and is in contact with water at least 4 times daily. Yes, the curtain does begin to show mildew and water stains do appear, especially at the bottom. Constant washing does remove the mildew but the soap stains began to appear and remain even after bleaching after year 4-5. Picture shows the state of the curtain after 7 years of washing and use. Please note, do not place the curtain in the dryer. Hang dry or better yet, after washing, reinstall on rod to air dry. Use of dryer will destroy the curtain. For the price and useful life of the curtain, this is a quality buy for me. Plastic curtains just don't last as long and we just fill our landfills with more waste. Do yourself a favor and purchase a polyester shower curtain and wash them to extend their life.
