New Shower Curtain Smell ... Agggggghhhhh

[crrdsh]

We bought a shower curtain (vinyl?) at the store the other day and threw it up. Lo and behold this bad boy reeks of plastic! noxious fumes if they were a molecule!

We left it up for half a day and it would not relent, so we removed it.

Is there a way to remove the odor or does it give way after time?

Buy a leather one. Leather improves relationships too. :evil:

Throw it in the washer with some detergent on cold.... that's what my gf did. Hers is vinyl too.

It goes away after a couple days or so. I like the smell.

Much more than the smell of our very old shower curtain.

Eww.
