Any shower curtain will turn yellow over time, acquiring an unaesthetic appearance and a musty smell.

A damp environment is a fertile ground for the growth of fungi and mold.

Causes of yellowing

Yellowing is a result of poor ventilation and high iron content in the water.

The latter is not immediately noticeable. A clear liquid flows from the tap, but when it comes into contact with air, it gradually turns into a rusty coating.

Pink mold is spread by bacteria that accumulates on walls, floors, curtains. It often has an orange or reddish tint. It can cause health problems.
