How to Clean a Shower Curtain With Bleach

Cleaning your shower curtain is not only important for aesthetic reasons, but sanitary ones as well. Mold and mildew thrive in warm damp places and bathrooms boast a perfect environment. Aside from mold and mildew, hard water and soap scum buildupcan also cause problems. Using bleach is a great way to eliminate these problems and sanitize your shower curtain.

Things You'll Need

• White towel Bleach

Instructions

1. Remove the shower curtain from the rod and make sure none of the little plastic loops come off with it. Those can stay on the shower rod.

2. Put the shower curtain in the washing machine with one white towel. The towel will help by brushing up against the shower curtain in the wash and help it to get clean.

3. Start the washing machine and add a cup of bleach. If your shower curtain isn't completely white in color, than use a color-safe bleach to avoid fading it.

4. If f there were noticeable hard-water stains or mold spots, allow the shower curtain to soak by turning your washing machine off for at least a half-hour after it is full of water.

5. Hang the shower curtain back on the rod in the bathroom to dry.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not attempt to dry your shower curtain in the dryer, as this will damage it.
