It is recommended that you go for a cotton or bamboo shower curtain - something made from natural fibers. Now you may have to clean it more often to keep the mold at bay but isn't that a good trade off compared to breathing in chemicals?
The evil shower curtain
I was reading a very interesting article this morning about shower curtains. Sad but true. Do you remember the smell when you open a brand new shower curtain? Well apparently that smell is no good for us. That smell is actually the off-gassing of chemicals from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. One of the chemicals is a phthalate which studies are showing is disruptive to the endocrine system which ultimately may have many health effects.

I've got a cotton shower curtain and find it easy to keep clean. Definately a good trade off.
