The Unknown Dangers of Dirty Curtains - Part 2
REASON 2: Facilitates the creation of mould and mildew
Mould and mildew are linked to a number of allergies and respiratory diseases. They produce spores which, if inhaled, can lead to allergic reactions and other health problems. This is especially harmful to kids, pregnant women, elderly people and also those who have asthma or other breathing issues. Mould and mildew love settling in surfaces that are moist such as shower curtains.
In the bathrooms it’s very difficult to notice them as they are usually covered by soap filth and grime after some time. That is the reason why it is very important to clean all curtains that are in moist locations regularly, in particular shower curtains.
