How do I get rid of the orange mould on my shower curtain?

Does anyone know?

I haven't tried anything yet.

Just repainted my bathroom and it is letting it's new shinyness down.

And yes, I know I could just get a new one but it is pretty and they don't make the pattern anymore.

I wash mine on a 40 degree wash, with bleach in the detergent ball thingy. I use the extra rinse function too, just to be sure the machine is clear for the next wash and have never had any probs.

I do it about once a month to keep it away.

didn't actually know you could wash a shower curtain. do you mean the plastic bit or a cloth bit?

for the plastic bit and full on bath cleaning i use hard core chemical - bathpower or showerpower. stinks to high hell but does the job.

some you can wash, some you can't. soaking overnight in milton or viacal solution works, depending on what the issue is.

Thanks all, I've checked and it is washable, so it's going in the machine with bleach.
