Croscill Bath AccessoryCleaning shower curtains is a dirty messy time consuming job. But there are a few tips and tricks you can use to make the process a little bit less painful.

If the shower curtain is just slightly soiled you can probably get away with just spraying it down with a commercial cleanser and rinsing it off.

For more soiled curtains you’ll want to pull them off the curtain rod and take them outside for cleaning.

Remove the liner first and take it outside. Lay it down flat on the ground so you can clean the entire unit at once.

Mist the entire surface of the curtain with either a cleaning product or diluted bleach solution.

Next use a stiff nylon brush to scrub away those mildew stains and water marks.

If you still have built up soap scum then go back and use a soap remover to knock those out as well, repeat the brushing process.

Let the curtain dry then flip it over and repeat on the other side.

One word of warning this process works best for vinyl shower curtain liners. If you have a fabric curtain be sure to check for color fastness before spraying it with any cleaner.

Now you can take the curtain back inside and hang it back up in the bathroom shower stall.

Just use the showerhead to spray off any leaves or dirt that might have stuck to the curtain when you had it on the ground. You can then just pick them out of the tub and toss them into the trash.

One last tip, to prevent soap scum from building up on a shower curtain – use a bath gel or synthetic soap when bathing instead of regular soap. It won’t leave that nasty soap scum residue behind. This means much less frequent cleaning.
