We have two showers in our house that require narrow curtains across the openings. They get used a lot and the hems get orange over time. It is probably some kind of mildew and it doesn't fully launder out. Yes, I have washed the curtains!
Each time these have been replaced, I have purchased a single fabric curtain and cut it in half. A new hem at the side of each narrow curtain is required, but somehow this is an ordeal! For one thing, it is often hard to remember to buy a curtain when they are in stock (Back-to-School is a bad time to hunt for anything) and then the package seems to get shuffled and buried in one of those everloving piles.
Today I found the curtain and did the necessary cutting and stitching. It only took a few minutes -- longer to press out the creases than to stitch -- and the two youngest boys each took one to a bathroom in a race to get them hung.
"What should I do with the old one?" one boy wanted to know, as he showed me the orange stains.
"Toss it!" I said with glee.
