Clean a Shower Curtain Liner With Baking Soda
Just because your plastic shower curtain or liner gets dirty doesn’t mean you have to throw it away. Try cleaning it in your washing machine with two bath towels with a gentle setting. Add 1/2 cup baking soda to your detergent during the wash cycle and 1/2 cup vinegar during the rinse cycle. Let it drip-dry and don’t put it in the dryer.
- Get mold and mildew off your shower curtains. Wash them — along with a couple of bath towels — in warm water with 1/2 cup chlorine bleach and 1/4 cup laundry detergent. Let the washer run for a couple of minutes before loading. Put the shower curtain and towels in the dryer on the lowest temperature setting for 10 minutes, then immediately hang-dry.
