Bathroom Mold

No matter whether your bathroom is new or old, whether you can see it or not, it probably has some amount of mold. Since there is so much moisture in the bathroom, it is easy for mold to grow and thrive. A simple way to prevent mold growth is to keep all areas and surfaces clean and dry including ceilings and walls. Other ways to prevent future mold growth in the bathroom are:

• keep drains clean at all times
• check humidity levels and allow air to circulate when humidity is high
• close shower curtain after use to ensure the entire curtain dries equally
• use a semi-gloss paint on walls
  

To remove existing bathroom mold:

• use a fungicide as opposed to bleach to remove mold as well as its scent
• perform an ozone shock treatment
• clean surfaces with baking soda or vinegar

5 Reasons To Install A Hookless Shower Curtain

A recent addition to the Vintage Tub and Bath product line is the hookless shower curtain. This shower curtain with matching liner is easy to assemble and has a different look than a traditional shower curtain.

The curtain features patented Flex-On rings that can be easily hooked on to your shower curtain rod. The hookless shower curtain is water repellent and stays in place with magnets. Since it lacks hooks, the curtain adds a clean cut look to your bathroom.

Why You Should Install A Curved Shower Rod

If you've ever taken a shower and been frustrated because the shower curtain is too close, a curved shower rod may be the solution for you. Curved shower rods extend away from the bathtub allowing for more open space in your bathtub or shower. The crescent rod pictured above allows for 25% more space while the double crescent rod pictured below creates up to 5 feet of extra space.


One customer from Muskegon, Michegan submitted a photo of their double curved shower rod and explained " [they] put towels on the inside rod and [the] shower curtain on the outside of the rod and towels are dry for [the] next use".


Another customer from West Palm Beach, Florida told us that "installation was very easy and the rod [added] extra room at shoulder height".
