I put my shower curtains (check the manufacturer's tag to ensure it's safe) in the washer with towels and rags and run through a normal cycle with my regular detergent. Comes out great and I hang it to dry. My shower curtain is a combination of material and plastic liner from Hookless.
Hi Silvia, toss it in your clothes washing machine and set the water on cold. Use your regular laundry detergent. Don't dry it, simply take it out of your machine and hang it back up in your shower. It will come out sparkling!
Plastic, fabric, it doesn't matter. Toss in the washing machine with just a few drops of detergent, a cup of vinegar in the wash and rinse cup, a couple heaping table spoons of baking soda and no fabric softener. If plastic, hang up right out of the washer. Use a hair dryer to smooth out if necessary. I hang my fabric shower curtains up right out of the washer. Some toss in the dryer first. Your choice.
Depends on what kind it is. If it's cloth just throw it in the washer with towels to do the scrubbing for you. If it has mildew add a little bleach to the detergent. If it's plastic throw it in the washer with white towels and use normal amount of detergent and bleach. Take a plastic curtain out and place in the dryer long enough to soften and hang right away. Like new.
Soak it in hot bleach water in your washer. Then put on spin and rinse and take out quickly and pop into dryer for 3 minutes. Take out and shake, shake outward. Hang on rings immediately or it will wrinkle. The shaking cools the plastic!
You can wash both plastic and fabric shower curtains in a washing machine. Use your usual detergent plus 1/2 cup of white vinegar. This will get both dirt and soap out of the curtain, as well as bacteria. If you need to wash it in the tub, put 1/8 cup of detergent, 1/2 cup of vinegar, and about a pint of warm water in a spray bottle. While the curtain is hanging up, spray both sides, from the top to the bottom. Let it soak a few minutes, then rinse the curtain using the sprayer from the shower. Rinse as thoroughly as you possibly can. Let it dry in the tub while hanging, where the curtain was washed in the machine or in the shower. Enjoy your clean shower curtains. And remember, fabric outside of the tub, the plastic liner ($1 at discount stores) inside the tub at all times. Best wishes! ☺️
IF it is just along the bottom that is nasty you can clean it without even taking it down.
I fill a tall bucket with about12-14 inches with a strong bleach water. I put a waterproof stool in the tub or shower to raise the buclet of solution a couple feet off the ground. Then simply gather the nasty bottom into the bucket swish around, let it sit and swish again in an hour or so. then remove everything and the nasty is all gone.
I throw mine in the washer with a load of towels. Works Everytime. When I hang it back up I spray the thing down with a borax solution and let it air dry. Keeps mold from building up again at least till the next time I wash it.
I have always put mine in the washer with a little vinegar in the wash cycle (helps remove soap deposits) with an extra rinse... if the spin cycle leaves it "wrinkly crinkly" just put in the dryer on "LOW" with a dryer sheet and a DRY towel....remove before the dry cycle ends and hang back up
Hi Sylvia: I put mine, which are cloth, in the washing machine with my regular wash. Don't use bleach and hang back up on the rod to dry. If you have vinyl, you can do the same thing. If just the bottoms are a bit dirty, you can hang the dirty bits in the laundry tub, the excess on the outside so that the drain doesn't get plugged, when you are doing the regular wash and the wash water will get them wet enough to rub and clean. After showering, leave about 6 inches away from the wall on each side, close them after bathing, so that they don't get mildewed and the air can circulate, leaving them inside of the tub for the water to drip off. You can also spray with bathroom cleaner, let sit for a few minutes, maybe 5, and then hose down with the shower head.
If your shower curtain is cloth, check the directions for washing and follow those. If you're asking about a clear vinyl one, I've always just laundered it with a few towels and then hung back up to dry or wiped it down with a soft cloth.
If everyone is going to the wash to clean it there is a simple way. Buy a bleach sprayer, pour one gallon bleach in it. Pump it up. Spray the entire shower, curtain, toilet, in all rooms wait 15 minutes then rinse. Remember to turn on the exhaust vents. All your bathrooms will be sanitized at once. Do not spray on anything with color without testing it. All mold, mildew, and kids will disappear. If your dog is named spot he will disappear also.
