A friend of mine said that is what she does and i'm wondering if it is safe to do this.

I do it all the time. I throw in a couple of towels so they "scrub"

I have done it with like rags and such that can be bleached. However I have had them rip a couple of times. Depends really on the quality. Just be prepared for the fact that it may rip but make sure to wash it with some else that can be bleached and also wash it with hot water but maybe on the gentle or delicate cycle.

Yes, I have done it successfully. I invested in a good heavy, duty liner and it's well worth washing when I need to.
Put in the washer with detergent and about a quarter-cup of bleach to sanitize and destroy mold. Hang up afterwards (don't use dryer obviously).
If you don't prefer to wash the liner, just buy a new one every few months.

I've done this many times. It also helps to add baking soda to the wash water. I wouldn't recommend putting it in the dryer - just hang it back up right out of the washer.

You can wash it in the washer alone in a large tub of cool water; remove it before it spins...you can place the curtain any on flat exterior surface and hose it off after scrubbing it with the spray on cleaner and brush of your choice...you may also spray on something and wash it where it hangs...

yes. but sometimes the print will come off. Wash in cold.
You better to just wipe the curtain clean with a washcloth and a water/soap solution

I wash mine with my towels in warm water on a short cycle. It has always done up nicely. Of course don't put it in the dryer just shake it out and let it line dry.

I used to be a maid at a motel,---------we did it all the time! Use cool water, Gain liquid, and set the washer on gentle. Don't use alot of detergent! Depending on wear, it should come out just fine!

I do it all the time. Those things have more germs than almost anything! It's disgusting. I just use cold water on the gentle cycle and throw some towels in with it.

Yes. Use warm water and cold water will make the vinyl brittle and may damage it. Hang to dry.

I've done it, but I'm not sure you can guarantee it won't rip. Maybe use warm water and a gentle cycle. Oh, and I don't think the dryer is the best idea.
