Dear James: There always is a puddle on the floor after the kids shower in their bathroom. I plan to replace the curtain with doors. How do I make sure the doors don’t leak too? — Jessica P.
Dear Jessica: Shower curtains can be attractive and not leak, but one has to be careful to position them properly before turning on the water. This works fine for adults, but children are usually not as careful about keeping the water in the shower stall or bathtub.
You will definitely have fewer puddles, if not totally eliminate them, by properly installing glass shower doors. They are also much easier to keep clean by rinsing them after showering and bathing. With a shower curtain, it is more difficult to rinse without leaks and the shampoo and soap can permanently discolor the curtain.
