Cleaning a shower curtain can be one of those dreaded household chores that many people put off. Accumulated grime and mildew not only look unpleasant but can also be harmful to your health. Given how often we use our showers, it’s no wonder our shower curtains need regular cleaning. However, many people avoid this task due to the effort it usually requires. That’s where my nana’s clever trick comes in handy. With nearly zero work, you can get your shower curtain looking as good as new.
If you’ve ever found yourself staring at that grimy shower curtain and dreading the scrubbing marathon, then this article is for you. The method I will share is quick, ridiculously easy, and effective—just like nana swore by. You’ll be amazed at how little work this cleaning hack actually involves, and it’s perfect for anyone who wants to save time and effort.
Materials Needed
1. A washing machine
2. Laundry detergent
3. Baking soda
4. White vinegar
5. A couple of towels
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Remove the Shower Curtain
Take down your shower curtain from its hooks. This part requires a bit of physical effort but is a necessary first step.
2. Pre-Treat (Optional)
If you have visible spots of mildew or heavy grime, you can pre-treat these areas with a bit of baking soda. Simply sprinkle a small amount directly onto the spots and lightly rub before the main washing.
3. Prepare the Washing Machine
Place your shower curtain in the washing machine along with a couple of towels. The towels will help to scrub the curtain as the machine agitates. Add your regular amount of laundry detergent.
4. Add Baking Soda
