Trim a Shower Curtain Liner

Trim your shower curtain liner to prevent retained water from forming mold and mildew that will stain your liner.

Steps

 * 1) [[Image:132054443_4bae523b14.jpg|thumb|]]Be sure the shower curtain liner is completely dry. There are several ways to accomplish this. You could hang the shower curtain on a line in your yard on a sunny day. You could use a hair dryer, blowing on any moist areas until they are dry. You could do this project after you have been away for a two week vacation.
 * 2) Using a chalk-line, mark the new edge(s) of the liner. You will want to make this line very straight and parallel to the existing edge. You may find use of a carpenter's square helpful in this regard.
 * 3) Trim with a sharp pair of scissors or with a rotary cutter. Dull cutting tools could ruin the cut.

Tips

 * Wear a tool belt to hold the chalk-line and scissors.
 * If you have a driveway, you can lay cardboard down outside and do your shower curtain cutting there.
 * Do not trim the liner too short.
 * Use patience to make a smooth cut.
