How to Keep the Shower Curtain From Taking the Paint Off the Wall

When you are painting your bathroom, you may bump into the shower curtain and cause it to touch your new paint job. The curtain will take the new paint off the wall, leaving you with a smudged wall surface and a dirty shower curtain. To keep the shower curtain from taking paint off the wall, you will need to take proper preparatory steps before you begin the paint job.

Instructions

    • 1

      Before you begin painting the bathroom, unhook the shower curtain from the hooks holding it onto the rod.

    • 2

      Remove the shower curtain from the bathroom. You can take this opportunity to wash it in the washing machine, or just set it in a dry sink until you are ready to reinstall it.

      Wait 24 hours for the paint to completely dry after you apply the final coat. Hang the shower curtain back up on the hooks over the rod. The curtain will not take dry paint off the walls.
