Cleaning the Shower Curtain

I only clean my shower curtain 2-4 times a year and I do that by washing it in my washing machine, on the delicate cycle, and I use both laundry soap and bleach. (If your fabric curtain is not light color, I wouldn't use the bleach, but I would for the plastic part for getting rid of the mold that starts to build up). Then I just hang it back up to air dry and it is clean as brand new..

Fill a spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar. Spray down the shower curtain with it every few days. That should take care of the problem in a safe and effective way. White vinegar and baking soda really are the only two household cleaners that one needs. All of those harsh chemical cleaners really do nothing other than make one's home toxic.

I throw mine in the washer with bleach and hot water and it comes out great. Wish you lived here, I hate cleaning house!

lELIN, WHEN I HAD A SHOWER CURTAIN I WOULD PUT IT IN THE WASHER ON DELICATE, A LITTLE BLEACH & DETERGENT. Worked pretty good for me.

I put my shower curtain through a 40 degree wash in the machine.Then either tumble dry it or iron it to make it water proof.Put normal washing powder in.It will shift all that built up mildew and water scale.

I clean mine whenever I see that there is soap scum starting to build on it and it just throw them in the washer to be washed with the rest of the laundry and then I either hang out on the line or I will just hang it back up in the shower to dry. Now when I clean the tub part of the shower I just use scrubbing bubbles on it let it sit for a little while and then just wipe it clean with a damp rag.I have found for me that this is the easiest way to clean the shower

What we have tended to use on our Carpets, floors, and in the bathroom like on the tub, shower curtain, sink etc. is Lemon scented ammonia diluted with some water. It helps give a cleaner scent and look to everything without having the ammonia smell. This is something that was actually recommended to me by a neighbor I used to have, and it really does work.

If you leave the shower curtain open and not pushed back all folded up...all the water will run off and there won't be any mildew. I know this as my husband always left his pushed back when he got out and there was always white stuff and mildew on the bottom 12 inches up. I told him when he gets out..pull the curtain back open (like it would be if you were showering) and let the water run off and that would stop. He of course, said I was nuts, but I did that one mine, and mine NEVER had that white stuff on it. But to clean it every now and then... I sprayed Simple Green on it about half way up and let it all drip down then use the shower head to spray it off after a while. Sometimes I'd spray it about 15 minutes before I shower, then when I get in...spray the curtain off and then finish my shower. Worked like a charm But they have that spray stuff that you spray on the shower doors...maybe try that. I use that on my shower doors now...and it seems to do fine. Maybe it'd work on the curtain too!

If the shower curtain is placed in such way as if you were taking a shower, mildew should not set it so easily. Get one of those bottles with sprinklers and mix chlorine with water. Sprinkle the curtain every day a half an hour before cleaning the shower. You only need a little chlorine. Then just take it away showering it with some cold water. When too much mildrew settles in, I discovered that the inside plastic curtain is very inexpensive. I use two curtains. The one that is inside id the one with problems and I spend more money cleaning it if it´s really dirty than buying another one.

Okay, first of I must say that I don't get the cloth curtains for my shower. There is only a plastic one and I never clean it. When it gets to the point where it's noticeably dirty, I throw it out and buy a new one. They're pretty inexpensive and too big a pain to deal with cleaning them. Especially if I decide to go with a Dollar Store one.

hi, i could say that i am the most lazy in the siblings,sometimes even if my rest day i don't clean my house or sometimes my room because i want to rest on rest day,sometimes i clean the comfort room but maybe once in a quarter of the year.i am really a lazy one because i know my sister can do that.

Yeah get a new one. We run ours though the washer with a load of towels from time to time but if they get to grimy we just buy a new one. Of course getting a fabric shower curtain would be the best option if you are looking to replace that way you can clean it then hang it when it is done.

I just make use of the washing machine to get the dirt away from the curtain. I feel cleaning is a hard task and i just make use of all the ways to make the cleaning activities quite simple.
