Abstract
An apparatus that facilitates the drying of a shower curtain is described. In some embodiments, the apparatus is configured to lift a shower curtain away from a tub wall or other vertical surface in a shower or bathing area, such as a bathtub. For example, after a person showers, the apparatus can be removably attached to a central area of the shower curtain to lift the shower curtain away from a tub wall when the curtain is wet. Once lifted, a lower end of the shower curtain no longer contacts the tub wall, as the lifting of the shower curtain creates a space between the curtain and the tub wall through which air can flow. In such a position, the shower curtain can dry more quickly and avoid the growth of mildew, mold, and other undesirable substances or films, among other benefits.
