Tools and Hardware Reviews of Croscill Fabric Shower Curtain Liner, White
Customer Review: Comparing Croscill and InterDesign curtains
Summary: 4 Stars
We have an old bearclaw bathtub so we need two shower curtains, one for each side of the tub. We bought one Croscill Fabric Shower Curtain/Liner, and one InterDesign Fabric Waterproof Shower Curtain. They are both 100% polyester, but could not be more different. Croscill is probably twice as thick, actually feels like fabric, and has metal grommets for the shower curtain hooks. InterDesign feels almost like it's vinyl, not fabric. It feels very thin, and has reinforced seams for the holes for shower hooks. It's not waterproof - the outside face is damp to the touch after we shower, whereas the Croscill one is moderately dry.
Both of them are fabric, so a bit of moisture does get through. But, the amount of seepage not enough to get anything else wet unless it's actually touching the fabric. The seepage is notably greater for the InterDesign version but not a concern for us because the curtain is not touching anything. We have very low-flow shower heads, so it may be worse for others.
We've only had them for a week, so I can't yet rate their effectiveness at resisting mold, ability to withstand washing, or rust around the grommets (for the Croscill). Hence, I have given it 4 stars pending those tests. But, so far if I were to buy these over, I would buy two Croscills.
Customer Review: Disappointed.....
Summary: 2 Stars
This is definitely preferable to the heavy-weight vinyl shower curtain that I was previously using, but not by much. It molds/mildews terribly, despite using the exhaust vent in the bathroom and letting it air out. Mold/mildew in a bathroom is almost inevitable, but I am disappointed that it does not wash out. My shower curtain is only a few months old, and there are black mildew stains in it that will not come out. I started off with the manufacturers directions for washing it. Having nothing to lose after that didn't work, I progressed to washing it in hot water which took out 75% of the stains.
We have a similar shower curtain in my son's bathroom. It is made of the same fabric, but the finish is "slicker" than this one. In contrast, it has been in use for over 3 months, and doesn't have a single spot of mildew on it. I wish I could find another one like that, but it came from a closeout store and they no longer have them.
So, in short...this is better than a vinyl shower curtain, but don't expect it to look pristine for long.
Customer Review: Durable! Last forever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought three of these for the ring-enclosure on a claw-footed tub, and have since moved, taking the curtains with me. We've used them every single day for the past 7 or 8 years, and I'm still on the first set. Yes, they eventually mildew -- I take them down every 2-3 months and wash with bleach. No damage, if I fill the machine first, add bleach, then toss in the curtains. Recently I started using a plastic clip to hold the curtain up while it dries -- if it air dries quickly instead of sticking to the side of the tub, I can go twice as long between washings.
I bought these because they're soft, sheer, and much more attractive than vinyl, but I never dreamed they'd last almost a decade. How much more can you ask of an inexpensive item??
Customer Review: Nasty mold smell after a few uses
Summary: 1 Stars
Unfortunately, I was looking for a good alternative to the plastic shower curtain liners and this was definately not it! After only a few showers, the material started to smell moldy at the bottom... so much so, that in less than the 5 months we've owned it, I've washed it at least 4 times! The polyester fabric holds the smell in.... So, I'm looking to try a cotton liner this time. Hopefully the cotton will not smell ... (Also to note, I bought two of these liners for 2 bathrooms). I only use one bathroom and my husband & son use the other ... so it's not like we have 10 people showering daily....in my bathroom, it's only me, and in theirs it's 2 people showering daily. I would NOT recommend this product.Customer Review: No mold resistance
Summary: 1 Stars
After having this shower curtain for a month I am ready to throw it out and go back to a vinyl shower curtain liner. I really liked this one because I like the way it looks and it is nice having a fabric liner, but the curtain has no mold resistant properties. After just a couple showers mold was growing at the bottom. Now (about a month later) there is a lot of mold all the way across the bottom 1/4 of the curtain. After reading the reviews here we are going to pull it down and wash it in the washing machine, but most likely we'll purchase a vinyl liner in the near future which should go 6 months before it needs to be replaced due to mold.
