That’s rather wasteful.

Echoing the previous two, definitely check and change your air filter! If you have very furry pets/smoke/live in an older home/etc, filters have to be changed sooner than the standard three months (1.5 months) and use one with a higher MPR grade. Ask your landlord to have the air ducts cleaned- this makes a huge difference and isn’t super expensive with a discount (Groupon and HVAC Co sites!). Are you running your bathroom exhaust fan regularly? Vacuuming the vent is a good idea (try to hit it every other month or so), but if it’s older and/or hasn’t been cleaned in a minute, you should take off the vent to give it a good cleaning…I warn you from my own recent experience, the potential ick factor underneath that vent is up there with the inside of a kitchen sink drain… I’m not exaggerating- I wasn’t prepared and cried when I popped off that plastic exhaust vent. Anyway, hope you find a solution- dust is the bane of my existence I feel your pain!

My mother also taught me to close the curtains so that they would dry faster. Good old mother’s wisdom. She also taught me to wipe down the tub surround with the towel I had used to dry myself to remove the excess water. I neglected to do that for quite a while, but I remembered suddenly a few weeks ago and have been doing so just about every time. She planted the seed all those years ago and it has finally born fruit. Yay! Now the question is whether I can teach my husband to do it so I don’t have to go in there and do it for him. … Probably not. Oh well.

For those who don’t want to risk any unintended damage or discoloration to either curtain or towel, you can also hand wash curtains and liners using baking soda on a microfiber cloth (I read this on a professional maid service site, so I’d say this is pretty reliable). Just rinse it with warm water when you’re done, which is very easy to do if you have a handheld shower. 🙂

I just found out on another site that you need to use hot water when killing off the mold and mildew. Over 140 degrees in your washer machine.To kill mold/mildew (which are living organisms) on white cotton t-shirts, wash in HOT water.

Cold water prevents it from shrinking for your curtain (by itself). I always wash my curtains with Woolite. The plastic Liner & tub mat, 2-3 light colored towels are washed together in the recipe above. I hope this helps you Sue V.

[…] How To Clean A Plastic Shower Curtain & Mat – Clean My Space – Grunge was cool in the 90s, not in your shower. Just sayin'. If you have a shower, there's a really good chance you have a shower mat and shower curtain liner. And, there's a super good chance that you haven't washed them lately (or ever)!. Why They Get So Grungy. These plastic shower curtains and bath mats get quite. […]

Thank you for the videos that you make! They have been very helpful in our cleaning routine. 🙂
Just a quick question:
When I tried the suggestions mentioned in the above video (ie washing the plastic shower curtain liner with light colored/white towels), my curtain liner did indeed come out cleaner. But sadly the white towels that I washed it with came out looking dingy and in need of another wash. Any tips of what to wash them with to restore their crisp whiteness? Thank you!

Very interesting. I purchased another plastic curtain and was about to change when I saw this post. Will be trying this. Thanks.
