How to get rid of plastic smell from new shower curtain liner? - curtain liners

A week ago I received a new plastic shower curtain online, and hanged. There was a strong smell of plastic (I do not know how else to describe it), but it is not surprising that a plastic curtain. But there before the smell of plastic resistant to seven days.

What can I do to get rid of the smell of plastic?

You can not.

This type of shower curtains are vinyl plastic (PVC) in the first place, which in its pure form very stiff hard plastic. To desegregate the material so that it moves like a normal curtain, vinyl, who found a plasticizer, which contains a liquid between the molecules of plastic, creating a flexible, smoother structure.

Vinyl itself has no odor, can smell, the plasticizer and, as it is always in the vinyl era, there is not much you can do for him. In general, low-cost vinyls tend to incorporate lower (and most unpleasant odor) plasticizer costs.

I was transported back to the tank when I had the same smell. Try putting a little hot water ISH in the bathtub and a drop of perfumed shampoo in Swish curtain around, then leave for 10 minutes. Not that the smell disappears, but it helps. Then they pick it up and rinse thoroughly. Then hang to dry. In addition, ensure that your bathroom is ventilated so that the odor (and mold, etc.) are not renewed.

GOOD LUCK!

PS: I tried vinegar and it works if you let the air for some time, but sometimes leaves a little smell. Depends if you disturb make up something, or not (me)
I have Febreze does not work, can not be absorbed by the plastic and feels best. Try it if you wish.

I informed the man of Nike also ... I do this over and Acai too:)

Vinegar is the key to getting rid of the smell when it received to the smell the smell going to leave your clothes in the washing machine to ever sink, I am always at home.
The smell of plastic makes me sick and I had the problem of what to do? Half fill the bathtub with hot water and a little mild detergent (if desired) and vinegar 1 / 2 cup rinsed 15 minutes in length. This should completely avoid the smell.
Vinegar is a blessing for all applications.
Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oh and informed me that troll, you sure can always lead people, the answers to Nike.
should have their answer soon.
Have a nice day.

In the washer on gentle cycle. Use a little detergent and probably smell better.
