What exactly makes this shower curtain 'mould proof'? What exactly is it treated with, if anything? Thank-you!

I spoke with singer Bob Mould and he absolutely does not have any interest in the curtain. So apparently it is Mould-proof.

I did add a liner. To protect the curtain and it didn't state it was water resistant. Getting water on this material over time would damage it. It feels like synthetic leather and has the texture of it.

This stuff is awesome. Had a major mold/mildew issue in our tile walk-in shower. While we could scrub for an hour on the tile to clean it, the grout was impossible to clean. We feared it was permanently stained. Coated the entire shower in this stuff and 15 minutes later it looked brand new! Almost 5 months later, no return mold. ***WARNING*** Leave the area (preferably the house) after applying while you wait for it to work. It has crazy strong fumes. Strongly recommend a respirator mask while rinsing it off as well. Otherwise, do small sections at a time to avoid getting "gassed" out like I did because I was over-ambitious and did't think it through. ;) This stuff is awesome.

Yes it appears to be mold resistant. I haven't had any problems with mold at all.

Either throw it away or return it to bed and bath. Their return policy is awesome. It is not supposed to get mouldy as the liers say on the tv ad. I tried to spray it with bleach but wasn't successful!

I haven't had this very long, but I have learned over my long 70 years how to keep any shower curtain clean so I don't have to clean it often. First of all, I use Miracle II liquid soap which does not leave soap scum anywhere in the tub or shower. Next, I always open the curtain all the way to let it dry out as fast as possible. If you don't, the mildew will grow black or orange spots and brown clouds on it. If that happens, I usually recommend putting bleach and water in the tub and soaking the curtain in there and brushing it with an old toothbrush if necessary. This Maytex curtain is such heavy plastic though that I expect to just wipe it like a wall with diluted vinegar on a towel.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

It is not see through, although it passes good amount of light - therefore no need for separate lighting in the shower. Yes, it is mold resistant. I am very happy with it.

I guess it is treated with something. I don't know. But I do like the curtain and it repels the water well.

The curtain is not waterproof since it is a cloth material. I had a clear shower curtain, but because I have a window near the tub and the light shines through the curtain you could not almost not see the light house. I opted for a beige liner so that the colors would not be muted. I love this well-made curtain and have gotten many compliments on it. Hope this helps.

Hi! This is a plastic curtain shower, so it's waterproof. You will not regret buying it, I have it since a couple of months and still looking fine. :) regards.

It is NOT waterproof- it requires a liner. It seems to be made out of 100% cotton. I purchased a liner at the local dollar store for about $5 and it works great. Very nice looking shower curtain.

We don't have glass doors, just shower curtains, but it gets hard water buildup off our brushed nickel faucets. Honestly, I'd personally try straight or diluted vinegar first, but this would be a good, non-toxic option to try if that doesn't help.

i'm sorry but i can't tell you what they are made of because i don't have the packaging anymore. i can say i have had no mold or mildew build up. i do use a daily shower/tub spray which may help. i actually when back and made mention that they don't say what they are made of in the 'what did we miss' section so maybe they will say in the future.

I had never heard of a PVC curtain until your question which led me to do some research on the subject. I thank you for enlightening me on this type of product. But from what I have read PVC is a type of vinyl and to my knowledge the shower curtain in question does not have the feel of vinyl. I would say it is more of a plastic as it is not easy to roll, move or squish if you get my meaning. This curtain is rather stiff. I hope this answers your question. Other than looking at the panel on what it is made of and comparing it with the PVC kind, I can only help you this far. Good luck

I did have one that mold due to rain, I went to blacktoxicmolds.com ( mold on clothes), I used baking soda, I did not want to bleach, due to the color may change. read that site. It is interesting. Hope it helps
