Clean Shower Curtain

Launder or wipe down shower liners and curtains to remove soap scum and prevent the growth of mold and mildew in high-moisture areas.

Pro Tips
Add a towel to the washing machine to help scrub and balance the load.
Use a diluted bleach solution for moldy curtains, but test for colorfastness first.
Consider using a washable liner to protect decorative curtains.
