Cleaning a Shower Curtain

Executive summary about Shower Curtain by April Reinhardt

Cleaning a shower curtain is easier to do than you might think. If your house has a bathtub with a shower nozzle fixture, chances are that you have some type of shower curtain. Usually made of vinyl, inner shower curtain liners take daily abuse, and must be cleaned often to prevent mold and mildew growth. There are two methods for cleaning a shower curtain liner:

1. Put your shower curtain liner in your clothes-washing machine, and fill the machine with cool water. When the load is finished, remove the liner from the machine and hang outside to dry.

2. Another effective method for cleaning a shower curtain liner is to leave it on its rings and spray it liberally with a mildew cleaner specifically formulated for bathroom use. Allow the cleaner to work for the time recommended on the product label, and then rinse the liner clean.

Never dry a plastic shower curtain in the dryer, as it could melt from the high heat. To prevent growth of mold and mildew, always draw the curtain across the length of the rails to allow it to air dry between showers.
