When the Christmas season arrives, you put up a tree, hang lights, swap out dishes and place decorations around the house. But what about the bathroom? Other than stocking the closet with colorful, seasonal towels, that room can get neglected. An easy fix is to hang up a Christmas shower curtain.
The best Christmas shower curtains have an appealing, festive design and they fit the average tub. The "I'll Be Home For Christmas" Shower Curtain has a greeting card beauty that will make you feel warm and nostalgic every time you enter the bathroom.
If your shower liner keeps water from splashing on the floor and prevents moisture from leaving the bathing area, you do not technically need a shower curtain. However, you still should have one. A shower curtain not only provides greater privacy for the individual who is getting washed, but it is the most critical part of your bathroom decor. In short, a shower curtain sets the aesthetic tone for your entire bathroom. That is why a Christmas shower curtain is so important. In just a few minutes, you can dynamically alter the look of your bathroom.
The three main types of shower curtains are vinyl, polyester and cotton. Each material has a distinct set of pros and cons.
The average tub is 60 inches long, while the average shower curtain is 70 to 72 inches long. This is to ensure you have adequate coverage for maximum privacy. However, many lower-end Christmas shower curtains are only 60 inches long. If you want that extra 10 to 12 inches, it will cost. As far as height goes, most shower curtains are 72 inches tall. When hanging the shower curtain, you want it to be a couple of inches above the floor, not touching. If your shower curtain touches the floor, it can bunch up and create a tripping hazard and make it easier for mold and mildew to grow.
The whole reason you are getting a Christmas shower curtain is to change the look of your bathroom for the holiday season. Make sure you purchase a festive design that the whole family likes.
While it is fine to purchase a Christmas shower curtain by itself, sometimes it's not enough. If you want a matching bath mat, toilet seat cover and toilet floor cover, the easiest way to do that is to purchase them all as part of the same set.
A Christmas shower curtain can cost as little as $15 or as much as $80. Even if you purchase a set, the cost usually remains under $80.
A. Even if it is fully waterproof, a Christmas shower curtain is designed to hang outside of the tub. This location looks neater, better hides the tub and allows you to see the full design on the curtain. To keep the water from splashing on the floor, use a shower liner behind your shower curtain.
A. The best thing about a Christmas shower curtain is you probably won't need to clean it. Assuming it is clean when you hang it up and only use it for roughly six weeks, just make sure you thoroughly clean it and let it dry at the end of the season. However, you can always give it a mid-season cleaning if you start noticing mildew stains before the holidays are over.
A. While many Christmas shower curtains are safe to be machine washed, not all will survive the process. Always consult the manufacturer's care tag to learn the recommended cleaning method. In general, you should never place shower curtains in the dryer. The easiest way to dry a shower curtain is to simply hang it so that the bottom stays inside the tub until it is fully dry.
