Green Tip of the Week

Showers:

Take shorter, cooler showers to prevent steam damage as well as mold and mildew growth.

Cut off the hem at the bottom of your shower curtain to prevent mildew buildup.

Choose natural fabric (cotton or bamboo) for your next shower curtain and liner. Know the smell when you open a new vinyl curtain? That's off-gassing of PVC, which contains a chemical that causes cancer. The EPA found that vinyl shower curtains can elevate toxins in your home for over a month.
