It's one I have faced, myself. It doesn't make sense to toss it now if it is serving your needs. You're right, it probably has finished out-gassing and don't buy a new one if you don't need it. In the future if you can afford it, consider a recycled glass shower splash guard which will still allow in the light and keep water off the floor. Many clients prefer the door over curtains in general. Good question, David. It’s one I have faced, myself. It doesn’t make sense to toss it now if it is serving your needs.

Two related questions: Is it better to keep or throw out an older vinyl shower curtain? We have one that is 15 years old and, presumably, has off-gassed all that it's got. And landfilling it doesn't seem an ecologically preferable choice. And the other reason we've hesitated to replace it is that we like the translucency. We have a window in our shower and would hate to lose that daylight and close in the room with an opaque curtain. Does anyone make a translucent non-vinyl curtain? Great information — thanks.
