What happens after you use it for a month and the curtain gets all moldy and disgusting? Do you have to use it with a liner, or throw it away?

Well its plastic. You can clean it with some bleach. Actually, the one I've had for about a year now hasn't shown any muck on it. It is quiet heavy plastic so if it does get gross or get bacteria on it, you can take it down, take out the ipad/iphone, and give it a gentle scrub with some bleach and water. The speakers are sealed into the curtain so they are good. Just be sure to seal up the ipad slot so water cant' get in when you clean it and its as good as new.

I'm not absolutely sure to be honest, but I do use a shower liner mainly because I feel that it helps to keep the shower curtain cleaner. Hope this helps.

HI, As a curtain alone I wouldn't do it .Even a cheap shower liner should protect it and make it last years longer.

Yes, it has a very strong odor from the PVC, which is actually toxic [I'm amazed that so few people realize this, based on the comments people have shared]. It was so strong that I had to take the curtain down and put in my garage. It's been there for 24 hours now. Still strong. Will wait another day or so, then if the strong PVC plastic smell doesn't go away, I may have to return it. Apparently, some people don't realize that these smells are from gases being cast off from the plastic, and you breathe them in. Not good. Can't wait for the day when this the use of these chemicals is banned. Nice thick shower liner, but not sure I want to risk my health or that of my pets.

It's frosted; can't see through it, but would suggest a liner with it. The curtain is well made of strong vinyl, but it's light and a strong shower can make it billow. A liner helps keep it from billowing.

I don't remember mine having any smell at all. But then I may be less sensitive to smell. You can wash the curtain in the washer so I'd give it a shot or just return it and get a new one. It shouldn't have a smell.

If you are using it as an actual curtain and not just decoration I would us a liner. I have shower doors and did not use a liner but I would use a liner if I did not have doors.

I've had it 6 months. It's been to countless locker rooms and stored in a plastic bag in a tote during transport. Hasn't accumulated mold or mildew at all. If it did, which I don't think it will, it would probably wipe right off. I'd use a little cleaning vinegar if it's stuck on. Hope this helps!

I've never used a liner, but if you empty the container every two or three days, you don't really need one. It's really a pretty easy clean-up, and you can add occasional runs in the dishwasher to brighten it up and get rid and any residual odor.

I've had this rod for over six months and this has not happened. I was concerned about this too. I have used both metal and plastic shower curtain rings on this rod. Hope this helps!

I did not notice a smell when I put my curtain up. I did not wash it or anything. It maybe from the plastic bag the curtain came in.

I am using a liner with mine. The material of the curtain is really soft and nice, different than any other shower curtain I have owned. In my opinion it needs a liner because it isn't a water proof- like material. I love it!

I agree with cleaning it once a week; I let it go for a few months and the mold was out of control. The design traps water underneath, at least in my tub. So now I lift the mat and let it drip-dry after use. I purchased a new mat and expect it to last this time.
