Nobody wants to get that drab feeling while taking a bath or shower.
While you are concentrated on cleaning up, you will not feel comfortable enclosed in a dirty and messy shower curtain.
Despite our attention to detail, a shower curtain will get dirty because of the damp conditions inside the bathroom and the continued accumulation of soap scum.
There is a need to regularly clean them and it should be part of the cleaning routine inside the bathroom.
Keep the following general guidelines in washing your curtains used in your bathroom.
Most shower curtains can be cleaned and washed in your ordinary clothes washer.
Add 1 cup of bleach solution when you wash them.
Add a regular number of white towels to go along with the curtains plus the prescribed amount of laundry detergent.
Do not run the washing machine on hot water as this can damage them.
Don't place the curtains in the dryer after washing.
Just hang it to dry on the shower rod in the bathroom.
You can also use baking soda as alternative to the bleaching solution when you are washing your material.
Do not forget to read washing instructions and warnings before proceeding to wash them.
Cleaning the curtains in the bathroom is not an easy task.
Everyone will find the routine a bit tedious as we have to work our way by removing the rings from the fabric and liners before washing.
You may choose to use a cleaner spray specific for shower curtains.
However, you will still have to pull it down after a few weeks for washing to maintain a clean and fresh feeling inside the bathroom.
Here are several practical tips in cleaning and maintaining your curtains the easy way.
If your curtain is made of plastic or vinyl liner, you can wash them in a regular washing machine by adding one cup each of bleach and vinegar.
Before washing them, check for any indicated chemicals which can damage and harm the material.
Do not use hot water.
Cold water should be used in washing the curtains.
If your curtain is made of fabric liner, a cup of baking soda is more appropriate alternative to bleach and vinegar.
You can remove any accumulated mildew and mold by washing them in soapy water added with just a small amount of bleach.
Make sure that you are using a bleach type which is color safe.
To avoid the fast accumulation of mold, use a water-salt combination in washing the curtains used in the bathroom.
Make sure that you use just enough amount of salt to prevent the formation of crystal when you drip dry the curtains.
Every time you pull down the curtains for a thorough washing, don't forget to clean the rings as well.
