We are very happy to re-introduce our stunning Purely Indigo Blue hemp shower curtain as another eco-friendly alternative to the plastic/pvc curtain. This deep, midnight blue will add a richness and warmth to your bathroom.

We are using a different type of hemp fabric on this, our "purely" range of hemp shower curtains, to our other hemp shower curtains. It is crisp and stylish with a more "linen style" look & feel, compared to the "cotton" style of our other hemp shower curtains, giving you a choice to suit your own style and preference.

Please note these also make very attractive, regular curtains.

Our price includes our attractive set of hemp rope rings, which are looped together to give a double ring which is attached to each eyelet, though you can use just one of the hemp ropes to shorten the length of the curtain, should you so wish. These hemp rope rings then loop over any standard curtain rail.

Hemp is absorbent, so will stop the water from spraying through, it will not cling like plastic curtains and is also known to be naturally resistant to mould and bacteria** (please see  below 'care' for details)                                  

 Please allow for some tolerance to the dimensions shown and note there can be approx 7% shrinkage when choosing your size.    If you need to know the exact size. please advise and we shall measure to confirm.       

The dyes used are Fibre Reactive, low impact dyes. They are azo and formaldehyde free and contain no animal by products. 

...Why Buy Hemp?

Hemp makes one of the most eco friendly fabrics available and it does not need any nasty chemicals to grow. Unlike cotton, it is a sustainable resource that is naturally resistant to most pests, so there is no need for pesticides. The plant needs little help to thrive. It requires less water than cotton to grow and is so prolific and tightly spaced that fertilizers and herbicides are also unnecessary, as there is no room for weeds.With its deep root system it grows without negatively affecting the soil and can therefore be grown for several years. In fact, growing hemp adds more than it takes out of the land, unlike cotton which depletes the soil of its nutrients. Industrial hemp has been cultivated for thousands of years, the fibres being renowned for their strength and durability, whilst the seeds are a great nutritional source of proteins, as well as providing other health and practical uses. It is a most efficient crop to grow with its relatively short cycle and many uses, such as nutritional hemp seeds, paper, bodycare products, detergents, pet foods and even insulation, but it should not be confused with its illegal cousin (in comparison it contains just a trace of THC, not even enough to bring a smile to your face).

Hemp fabric is a textural, naturally attractive fabric that can be produced in various weights, so is suitable for the finest of apparel to heavy duty upholstery. It is naturally UV resistant and absorbent, and is also known for its anti-bacterial, anti-mould** (see below) and insulative qualities. It feels soft and has a contemporary elegance, suitable for today's more simple taste.                                                

CARE

**Although hemp is known to be naturally resistant to mould and bacteria, please remember that it is a natural fabric that has not been treated with any chemicals so this cannot be guaranteed as it may depend on individual conditions. Opening the shower curtain and allowing it to dry properly in a well ventilated bathroom, with the window open, is recommended. If being used in a bath, it should be placed on the outside of the bath (ringing out any excess water at the hem if necessary) after use, for air circulation, to allow it to dry. 

TIP You may wish to use a clip/peg to attach the bottom of the shower curtain around the curtain rail to help it drip dry in the bath and providing the air circulation, if putting it outside of the bath is not possible. 

Please maintain and wash as necessary, which you can do on a gentle wash (please remove all curtain rings when you wash the shower curtain). Although hemp can be washed on higher temperatures, we do not recommend this due to shrinkage of natural fibres.  We recommend you iron on the underside whilst damp for best results and to reshape, it can then be hung to finish drying, we do not recommend tumble drying.  You can use inhibitors and cleaning agents such as oxygen bleach, borax, distilled white vinegar, antibacterial cleansers, teatree oil etc if mould/mildew may be a problem (please follow manufacturer's instructions and please test a small area before use). You can also put pieces of charcoal, a fan or a humidity absorber in the room to help soak up moisture. Although most customers are happy with their hemp shower curtain as it is, you may wish to use a liner, as with other fabric shower curtains on the market, if the conditions of use or lifestyle preference do not suit the use of a fabric shower curtain alone. It is for our customers to decide if a natural, untreated fabric shower curtain will suit their circumstances, or if they wish to use a liner, prior to use, as we cannot accept their return once used. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your interest in our purely hemp shower curtains, which make an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to the plastic shower curtain.  

Please note it is possible that there may be some irregularities in the fabric, which should not be deemed a fault and is characteristic of a natural fabric.
