I've had cellular shades in both my bathrooms for 2 years and haven't had any problems with mildew. Mine stay pulled down most of the time. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Totally Confused

I know cellaular blinds aren't recommended for the bathroom becauase of the moisture. Faux wood is a good choice. I would use the "Ask the Expert" tool on the Bali Blinds Facebook page. They will shoot you off an answer to your question. I think as the previous poster said, keeping them down so there aren't as many nooks and crannies would help to minimize the mildew threat.

I have cellular shades in two bathrooms with no problems. The shades do mostly stay in the down position and both bathrooms get lots of air circulation.

I had them in my old master bath for 7 years -- never even a trace of mildew. Mine also stayed down most of the time.

I had them before I remodeled. They never got mildew and my bathroom tended to be damp. Somehow they got a water stain but maybe the window was left open in the rain. After I remodeled I got wood blinds.
