How Should I Care for Shower Curtains?

Avoid mildew by airing off your shower curtain every time you take a shower.

This involves nothing more than opening out the shower curtain fully to let it dry rather than leaving it all gathered together at one side of the bath.

If shower curtains start to look a bit dirty and they are washable, take them down and pop them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with some mild detergent. (Don’t wash them alone or you will get a soaking after you pull them out from the spin cycle - put them in with something like a couple of towels).

If your shower curtain is not washable sponge it down with soapy water and use a little gentle scrubbing to deal with the dirtiest parts.
