How to Glue a Vinyl Shower Lining

Fabric shower curtains grow mildew and mold if they are exposed to moisture on a regular basis without a protective liner. Although vinyl shower curtains are waterproof, they are may not enhance your bathroom decor the way a cloth shower curtain can. Display and protect your fabric shower curtain by gluing a vinyl shower curtain onto the back of it. This enables you to keep using the cloth shower curtain you enjoy, while preventing mildew and mold from developing on it at the same time.
