are these curtains mildew resistant?

I have not had any mildew issues. They are the same fabric as a "fabric shower curtain so I would imagine that the room climate and moisture would determine the mildew issue more than the curtain in and of itself. They are relatively inexpensive so I would chance it with not much to loose.

"mildew-resistant" -yes- as opposed to "mildew-proof"-no.... But we have an unusual situation. We have an old house with a window over the tub, designed well before showers were installed in homes. Now of course we have a shower with the tub. The window needs to be covered, the covering will get wet, but the curtains do provide privacy and do protect the wooden window frame. Our area is also very humid. The inexpensive price allows me to replace these as needed. These curtains are a tough product to find these days, and I'm grateful they exist.

Have not had any mildew problem. Since they're made of polyester, they do not absorb moisture and should not provide a base for mildew to grow.

I haven't had any issues with mold/mildew. I switched to a mat but my daughter has stuck them to the wall of the shower and still no issues.

Hi there. The wicker is coated so I don't think mildew is an issue- it has not been for me. There is not a liner. This could be the only issue if you were planning to keep it for years and years. I've had mine for awhile now and it is still holding up, though the inside is almost a white paper-like material, but I think the breathability makes it so that mildew isn't an issue (or hasn't been for me). Yes, you are correct on the depth and width.

Yes it is. I can' t give you a specific amount of time but mine has been up for more than 6 months and I am just starting to see a bit of mildew, but I will just shoot it with some bleach and .....gone! I don't think you will be disappointed in this curtain. It is also really pretty.

This is my 2nd set over the past 3 years. Both were exposed to moisture, I've never had a problem with mold or mildew.

Mildew resistant , No. Washable , Yes , but only to wipe with a rag or sponge from time to time . Not to be washed in a washing machine or hand washed . Is a good conversation piece though .

I use it as the outside curtain for my shower and have an added liner for the inside, but so far no mildew on mine! My only problem is the rings are already rusted after 6 months

Hi Alli, thank you for your inquiry. Our covers are not waterproof, but rather are highly water resistant. We do not manufacture, nor do we recommend completely waterproof covers as they do not allow for proper airflow throughout the cover which in turn can cause mold and mildew to form. If there is anything else that we can assist you with, please let us know.

I used a liner with mine, it just keeps the curtain in better shape. I'd recommend a mildew resistant inner liner

They do not appear to be. After washing they do need ironing...so definitely not wrinkle resistant. And, I have had to use Oxyclean to remove a stain or two. I love them, have used them for 2 years and think they are good quality for the price.

Yes, they dry completely since the bottom is ventilated. I have not encountered any mildew/mold buildup, but it would still be wise to clean it once a month or so.

I have had this shower curtain for 3 months and havent seen any mildew yet. It is a very pretty high quality shower curtain. I love that I dont have to have a fabric curtain and vinyl liner.

although i live in the humid southeast, i've had no mold or mildew problems. of course the hvac system is doing that job as well.

I do not know, the curtains are quite thin and not as thick and rich as seen in the picture. You should get the set and go to another store where you can see and feel your drapes and match it with the set. In that way you get quality great looking curtains.

I have only had mine for a few weeks, and no mold yet. The good part about the material is it is washable, and I have had other curtains made by Hookless. Just wash the liner when it gets some soap scum.

There aren't really any plastic or metal parts surrounding the rim holes - just reinforced stitching kind of like a buttonhole.You won't regret buying this curtain. It really does resist mildew, and once every few months, if it starts to get a bit of mildew at the bottom edge, I just spray it with a bit of Clorox Clean up and it cleans itself without any scrubbing or rinsing from me. I wish I had discovered this curtain many years ago.

No, just made by them. Use them all the time, they are great, not as expensive as sponges and don't mildew as quickly as they dry fast.
