Everyone is blogging about Valentine's Day, so to fit in I'm suggesting you celebrate with a shower (together is nice)...but not behind that vinyl curtain!
That smell when you unfold a new vinyl shower curtain? The off-gassing of PVC chemicals. That's short for polyvinyl chloride, and it's production and disposal produce dioxin. What's more DEHP - one of the additives - is a suspected carcinogen, and new vinyl curtains have been shown to raise air toxins in the home. Gross.
So feel the love by choosing a natural fabric such as bamboo or hemp for your next curtain instead. Where to find this you ask? I recommend grassroots, my favourite green store.
