Shower curtain is stained. How to clean it?

[CuttedUpPear]

It has that orangey stain that someone on here told me is due to shampoo, or the water type we have here, can't remember which. Anyway the bottom two foot is stained, is there a trick I need to know?

My money is on vinegar/bicarb, obvs.

Washing machine and Vanish?

You can wash it in the machine. Or in the bath with biological washing powder.

If that doesn't shift it then you can soak it in the bath with diluted bleach and wash again, but one wash should do it.

What materiel is it?

I am resigned to getting new ones frequently. We are in london and the bottoms go crusty (yuk). I usually get the long ones, crop off the bottom bit when the foot goes yucky then replace the whole thing (keeping the old one for some unknown reason - wrap a body perhaps?). Ikea do cheapy ones, so do some discount stores, so,I usually have a spare knocking around. A change is nice though!

I stand a deep bucket on a stool and bleach the fuckers when they're not washable. Who makes non-washable shower curtains anyway?

Bleach in situ - avoids the tie-die look

I machine wash mine weekly (is white & goes in a 60 degree wash), ensure it is fully dried with rest of washing. Never had a stain issue since I started doing this.

Frontpaw it is already an Ikea cheapy one!

In the interest of the planet I would like to keep it and get it clean - I don't possess bleach (not want to) and thought that washing it in the machine would take away its waterproofness?

Mine does this I just chuck it in the washer on a 30 quick wash and it gets the orange out.

I used to put ours in the washing machine when it got manly. Always came out looking like new.

Manly? Is that a new word for dirrrrty?

Er that should be manky.

at my shower curtain being manly! It was actually white with gold stars so not manly at all!

I put mine in with towels and some napisan... Good as new x

Mine wipes clean with a cloth!

I put mine in the washing machine maybe once a month on a 30 wash with my normal washing powder. Comes out good as new and no difference to waterproofness etc.

We get the orange stuff too. Wonder what it is....?

urgh! It's this!

I just put it in the mashine regularly. have a fabric one, though.

gawdnbennet, alloverit I think I'll be cleaning the bathroom tonight!

I have a 'nice' shower curtain which I hang in front of a tesco value one (£1.51). The cheap one goes in the bath and get wrt whilst the posh one hangs outside the bath and is the one you see. Bin the cheap one every few months. Ta da!

That should say gets wet

I can't take credit for this idea, my hairdresser advised it when I started using coloured shampoos for my dyed hair

I'm binning mine fossil. Going to buy a cheapy one at the weekend

Actually I have just bought a new shower curtain, wonder if I bought two I could keep them in rotation with washing the towels.
