How To: 7 Non-Shower Uses for Shower Curtains

Shower curtains and shower curtain liners are great for making sure that your bathroom floor doesn't collect water, but eventually you'll want to replace them. When you do, the old one can be repurposed for a number of practical uses around the house and outdoors.

You can use your old shower curtain or liner as a drop cloth for paint jobs, a DIY table cover for outdoor picnics, a firewood tarp, a car trunk cover, and more. Just make sure to clean any soap scum and mold off of it first.

Read below for more uses for shower curtains and liners other than covering things up and keeping things dry. Take note that the uses below are only for shower curtains and liners that are made out of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA), not ones made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
