Is this mildew resistant?

I've had great results with polyester fabric liners by: 1) adding a prewash cycle using bleach followed by 2) more bleach in a HOT wash cycle (rinse any temperature)

I am sure at some point it could get mildew but for now it is fine and dries quickly to help prevent mildew. Since the shower does remain wet as long as it does with the use of a plastic curtain it seems to cut done on the possibility. I think it works just fine, no problems at this point.

Mine is mildewed after 2 months. I have tried to bleach it out with no luck. I cannot recommend this product at all.

Supposedly, but after 4-5 months mildew shows up on the bottom at the hem. Yes, this is washable but the 'fabric' is almost heavy paperlike and it does not wash well for the mildew part. In general, the curtain is well worth the small amount paid. It is worth it to purchase 2-3 at once and wash/rotate them, or even throw the first one out, every 2 to 3 months.

It should take off mildew easily with or without bleach. As long as the cleaner is okay with plastic it should not be a problem.

We haven't had a problem with it smelling like mildew. We let it air dry between uses.

I've had this mat for 7 months now and have not had any signs of mildew. I don't take it up often, but when I do, there are no signs of mildew. I am very pleased with it.

It is mildew retardant but over time it can get dirty if not picked up and cleaned. A product called X-14 works wonders.

As far as thinkness goes, I think some people may be referring it discount store products and some people compare it department store products. It just may vary per person's opinion. As far as mildew resistant, I always spray a mild cleaner at least once a week on any shower curtain liner just to freshen up the shower. That does help tremendous !!! This brand is amazingly better than some walmart's choices.

Absolutely not. It is self stick vinyl. Would not hold in water, AND since it is vinyl it would most definitely mildew.

Very easy - and for that matter if you pick it up from the bottom of the wet tub and let it air dry, mildew doesn't form. The mat is not porous which keeps it from getting mildew. It's a great bath mat!!

No but I used it on curtains I made for my porch. They are made from comforters as windbreaks in the winter in north Florida which is damp and cold in the winter. I just took them down for Spring and there was not mildew to be found. I washed and stored for the season and I will spray them with this product in Fall. It did everything I hoped it would.

I have not had any problem with mold or mildew. I don't know what material they are made from. All I know is they work for my handicapped husband.

Oddly no. I don't know why but it doesn't mildew. My husband has only used these to dry a car, for as long as I have known him. His first one was called a "Firemen's Friend". They are great for drying a car. No lint, no scratching.

Yes! Mine has been outside on the patio for almost a year of southeastern PA weather and it's still bright red, no mildew, no visible wear.

I live in New Hampshire were there can be mildew problems. Our chair has not had any problem with mildew although it is in the sun most of the time so mildew might not form.

No, I have used these for years and I always wring it out and store it wet in the tube it comes with and it won't mildew. Since it's stored moist, it's ready to use quickly and for small touch ups or to clean the windshield. I had one get mildew and that was only when I tried to wash it once with an alcohol-based product (I really don't recommend that!)

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms
