Croscill's Fabric Shower Curtain Liners are 100% Polyester and water repellent. Use the tone on tone stripe curtain alone or as a protective liner for your decorative shower curtain. The curtain has leaded beads in the bottom hem and metal grommets to hang from at the top edge.
Comment: This shower curtain is a lighter material than the heavy plastic ones and does just as good of a job repelling water and keeping it in the tub. I will say this looks a little hotel-like. It is white color, but lets the light through just enough. I've had it for probably 1-1.5 years and just now is the bottom of it starting to get some brown on it, so i started moving the liner outside of the tub when its not in use to allow it to air dry free of contact with the tub.

Summary: Disappointed..... 2010-02-07
Comment: 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.

Comment: I've had this shower curtain for over a year now and I love it! It looks fine on its own - no need for an outer curtain. It's lightweight so it dries quickly. It's plenty waterproof for my husband and me, but we are not spraying water directly on it.

Comment: I bought three of these shower curtains and only recently took one out of the package to use. Some of the eyelets came out while I was putting it up, and I had to sew a strip on the top so that I could put in button holes to replace the eyelets. What can you expect from a product made in China? Once up, it does repel water, but I have only used it a couple of times since installing it.

Summary: TERRIBLE! 2009-12-11
Comment: I should have followed my hunch with the description saying "water resistant." It's fairly attractive and I was pleased at first, but soon some water started appearing on the floor. I'd bought two, so I put up the 2nd one and the two together worked. Then I washed them--they do get moldy. After the 3rd wash all the water resistance was gone and I had water coming through the kitchen ceiling!! Makes a decent shower curtain (although as some said the creases don't go away), but as a liner it SUCKS!!! Off-gassing or not, I'm sticking with vinyl. Before installing a new vinyl liner, hang it outside for a day and it will be mostly odor-free.
