			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A shower curtain is a boon in preventing water getting all over the bathroom floor, however it does have one big disadvantage; the likelihood of icky mold growing on it. To prevent this from happening to your shower curtain, this article discusses some ways to prevent mold and mildew build up.</p>
<p>The first place to start is with the type of shower curtain you buy. There are curtains on the market now that have been treated with a specific anti-mold treatment that prevents the build up of mold on the curtain. This saves you time on cleaning them and having to use harsh chemicals in the bathroom.</p>
<p>Shower curtain liners are becoming popular to use with shower curtains. The liner is placed on the inner edge of the bath and the shower curtain then sits outside of the bath. This prevents the curtain from getting wet, which is the number one cause of mold starting to grow in the first place.</p>
<p>Soaking a vinyl shower curtain in a strong mixture of vinegar and water is also a good way to prevent mold from developing on a shower curtain. Just soak it for a couple of hours and then hang it. You can also keep mold at bay by filling a spray bottle with a mixture of 70% vingar to 30% water and spraying that along the bottom of the shower curtain after using the shower.</p>
<p>You can also use a strong salt water solution to soak a vinyl shower curtain in for a an hour or so before hanging. This prevents mold from forming and you can maintain a mold free shower curtain by spraying the bottom of the shower curtain in a similar way as you would the vinegar solution.</p>
<p>After your shower, be sure to pull the shower curtain across the whole length of the bath to enable it to dry out completely. Mold can&#8217;t grow on a dry surface, and if the curtain is left crumpled up it retains the moisture which encourages the growth of mold. Open a window or turn on an exhaust fan to get the air circulating and get rid of the moisture in the air.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A bathroom remodeling project can quickly become quite expensive if you decide to go ahead and just replace everything in it. Instead, if you are on a budget it is worth doing some of the more simple jobs yourself and try transforming some of your old items into new. Jobs such as renewing a countertop, modernizing a bathroom mirror or patching rust holes in a bathtub are quite easy to do yourself. It is easy with these remodeling ideas.</p>
<p>Eliminating Holes and Rust Stains:</p>
<p>Initially, it is worthwhile getting rid of any signs of age and wear such as lime or water stains and rust from the shower, bathtub, sink and toilet. Use a good general purpose cleaner for the toilet such as Lysol Power Toilet Bowl cleaner followed up by using a limescale and rust remover.</p>
<p>If you have any cracks or holes in your shower or bathtub, this can easily be repaired with a compound such as Bondo Tub and Shower Repair kit. Any uneven areas of color in your tub, shower or toilet can be treated with Oleum Tub and Tile Refreshing kit which is good at revitalising your surfaces. Most good general home depot stores should stock these products and they come with full instructions.</p>
<p>Refurbishing the Countertop:</p>
<p>The next area that can easily be improved is the old tarnished countertop. To paint it, it is important to first lightly sand to apply a key to the surface which allows the paint to stick, Then apply two coats of a primer and allow around thirty minutes of drying between each coat. Next apply three shades of an acrylic paint using a sea sponge to create a faux finish. If the surface is tile or porcelain, I would advise using a gloss paint.</p>
<p>Remodeling an Old Mirror:</p>
<p>renovating the bathroom mirror is an inexpensive but effective project to consider. It is easy to build a simple frame for your old mirror to hide and chips, stains or other marks. If you are looking to replace your old mirror than you could buy two cheap mirrors and build a simple frame for each of them. Placing them side by side on the wall gives a really modern look.</p>
<p>Using the same sea-sponge faux finish technique, mentioned earlier, you could repaint the bathroom walls. The most effective colors are warm, soothing shades. Don&#8217;t forget to paint the ceiling though. Make sure the paint is suitable for the bathroom and is waterproof, which will help prevent the build up of mold and mildew.</p>
