What happens after you use it for a month and the curtain gets all moldy and disgusting? Do you have to use it with a liner, or throw it away?

Well its plastic. You can clean it with some bleach. Actually, the one I've had for about a year now hasn't shown any muck on it. It is quiet heavy plastic so if it does get gross or get bacteria on it, you can take it down, take out the ipad/iphone, and give it a gentle scrub with some bleach and water. The speakers are sealed into the curtain so they are good. Just be sure to seal up the ipad slot so water cant' get in when you clean it and its as good as new.

I used bleach to clean mine. You have to rinse about 100 times to make sure to get it all out but it worked. All mold gone. I left overnite. Only use enough bleach to cover the bottom

I haven't had this liner up very long, so no mildew yet. But with other liners I've always had the best luck using Clorox clean up spray on them. Just spray it on, let it sit a few minutes, then rinse off. If there is a lot of mildew you might need to spray it several times and leave on a little longer. Hope this helps.

I have used it in the tub while showering, but probably most people would get a plastic liner. The inside of the curtain has seams where the different squares are joined together. I will probably get a liner eventually. It is certainly not necessary. (And it is really nice-looking, FYI)

I've never used a liner, but if you empty the container every two or three days, you don't really need one. It's really a pretty easy clean-up, and you can add occasional runs in the dishwasher to brighten it up and get rid and any residual odor.

I used it on a fabric shower curtain that was badly spotted with black mold. The mold vanished. The curtain is fine. Vivid colors of black white and red were left unchanged. Find a spot on your fabric that is not usually visible, and test it. That's what I did.

I use a liner. Curtain is decorative onI use a liner. Can't answer your question.

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!

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.

I just bought it and it is great -lovely to look at and efficient in keeping the water in the tub. I wouldn't use a liner because I like the shower to have light and this curtain is clear. But there is no reason you couldn't use a liner if you want privacy. Otherwise there is no reason to do so.

Yes it is. I can' t give you a specific amount of time but mine has been up for more than 6 months and I am just starting to see a bit of mildew, but I will just shoot it with some bleach and .....gone! I don't think you will be disappointed in this curtain. It is also really pretty.

It depends on the shower, and how well it airs out. My experience with this product is that in my indoor shower it became so moldy after only several weeks that I had to throw it out. I bet it would only work if you stood it up and aired it out after use.

I have a beige fabric liner and think it looks great. I leave the shower curtain open when not being used so that the room feels bigger. I suppose if you need more light in the shower you might want a clear liner--I have a light in the shower so I don't need any additional light. Hope that helps.

Yes, I have a very small bathroom with poor circulation. I've had the shower curtain up for 6 months and just took it down to wash last week in preparations for the holidays. Mold was no where to be seen on curtain. I'm very happy with this product.

I believe you can use it on it's own because it's plastic. But I prefer it with a liner, just as decorative curtain. It lasts in good conditions for longer.

Yes, I have washed mine several times on delicate cycle with cold water and machine dried for 10 minutes and then put back up. This curtain comes out clean and dries without wrinkles. You won't regret buying this product. It is beautiful. Adds pops of color in a bath. Works great with the rugs. I have several but prefer the lime green. Enjoy.

There is no visible plastic on the curtain. There may be a thin plastic card in the hem. I haven't opened the seam to look nor will I. I use mine as a liner as well.
