Just because shower curtains are located in the place that cleans you up, doesn’t necessarily mean they always remain sterile. It is imperative that you regularly clean your shower curtain so that it remains in tip top condition. Most vinyl shower curtains are able to be removed and cleaned with a diluted bleach solution. This will help sanitize and remove stubborn mildew stains. If mold is a problem, be sure you are using a cleaning solution that is designed especially for killing mold. If that doesn’t help, you might consider purchasing a new vinyl shower curtain. Cleaning procedures for fabric shower curtains may vary and greatly depend on the type of fabric. Placing a shower curtain liner on behind your fabric shower curtain will help protect and preserve your investment. It is also a good idea to read the manufacturer’s label that is located on the curtain or in its packaging. Becoming familiar with proper cleaning methods and properly maintaining your shower curtain will enable you to enjoy it for many years to come. Be sure your bathroom is well ventilated, as this will aid in preventing the growth of mold. A bathroom vent is a significant element and you should be sure this unit is on when showering.
