How To Clean Plastic Shower Curtains

Plastic shower curtains are very easy to use, but they can also get dirty very quickly. If you don't clean your plastic shower curtain regularly, it can start to look dingy and covered in soap scum. Fortunately, cleaning a plastic shower curtain is not difficult. Below are some simple steps that you can follow:

1. Remove the shower curtain from the shower rod. 2. Rinse the shower curtain with cold water. 3. Fill a bathtub or sink with warm water and add a few squirts of dish soap or laundry detergent. 4. Submerge the shower curtain in the water and let it soak for 15-30 minutes. 5. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the shower curtain. Be sure to get all of the soap scum and mildew off of the curtain. 6. Rinse the shower curtain thoroughly with cold water. 7. Hang the shower curtain back up on the shower rod.

You can also clean your plastic shower curtain in the washing machine if you want to. Please read the care instructions on the shower curtain before you do this to avoid damaging it. Most plastic shower curtains can be washed in a washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle. Do not add any bleach or fabric softener to the water. You can add a little bit of vinegar to the water to help remove soap scum and mildew.

Once the washing cycle is complete, remove the shower curtain from the washing machine and hang it back up on the shower rod. Please do not put your plastic shower curtain in the dryer, as this could damage it.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your plastic shower curtain clean and looking like new.

Here are some additional tips for cleaning your plastic shower curtain:

If your shower curtain is heavily soiled, you may need to clean it more frequently.
Use a mild detergent or dish soap to clean your shower curtain. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
