Shower curtains keep bathrooms clean but collect soap scum and mildew. Don’t toss them—wash shower curtains easily to save money and keep your bathroom fresh and spotless.
Yes, you can wash plastic shower curtains! They’re durable and can be cleaned manually or in a machine. Regular washing keeps them fresh, hygienic, and free from mildew and odors.
Step 1: Remove your shower curtain and check the label for care instructions. Most plastic shower curtains are machine-washable, but confirming is always best.
Step 2: Place the shower curtain in the washer with old towels, which act as scrubbers to remove dirt and grime gently without damaging the curtain.
Step 3: Use cold water, a gentle cycle, and mild detergent to wash your curtain. For tough stains, add half a cup of baking soda for extra cleaning power.
Step 4: Remove the curtain after washing and hang it to air dry. Avoid using a dryer, as heat can warp or melt the plastic.
If you don’t have access to a washing machine or prefer a more hands-on approach, cleaning your shower curtain manually is a great option.
Replace your shower curtain if it has persistent odors, cracks, stains, or warping. Regular cleaning extends its life, but periodic replacement keeps your bathroom fresh and functional.
