Chaging the curtains in your bathroom can be quite expensive especially if you are after quality. What do you do if the curtain has some mildew and soap scum all over it?
Some people choose to soak it in the bath with some water and bleach. If you opt for this method you need to be careful especially if you own a colored one like a brown shower curtains.
One of the easier ways to clean it is to put it in a washing machine. Whether it’s a plastic or a plastic covered fabric just put it in the washing machine and it will be cleaned. Just make sure that it is set at non-rinse cycle and use normal detergent. You should also consider putting a towel in the wash so the towel abrasiveness can help clean it up.
Other than that you can soak it in soda crystals. Compared to bleach this is way better especially in terms of eco-friendliness. In addition it is superior than bleaching because it does not emit ant nasty smell. The process is simple, just add some soda crystals in a bath with water and then leave it overnight.
If you own a washing machine you can put your red and green paisley print shower curtain in the wash and substitute the normal detergent with the soda crystals. For the conditioning part, simply use some vinegar. Note that I haven’t tried the vinegar myself but with so many testimonials I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for you – except for the smell.
