my shower curtain goes a horrible orange colour. i can get rid of it if i spray it with mould remover but it's a really strong chemical so I don't like doing it. how can i stop it happening in the first place?

After showering spray it with a daily shower spray. Also, you can wash it in the washer and that usually will get rid of the orange. I suggest of course a detergent that has bleach, and also oxi clean works really well.

Rinse it thoroughly after use.
Keep it out of direct sunlight.
As a possible remedy make a 'thick bleach. solution (1/20) in a plastic bucket and leave the curtain to soak overnight. Rinse well before hanging.
If that doesn't work the plastic has 'aged' and needs to be replaced.

Get 2 new ones and put one in the washing machine once per week. What you have is body scum on your curtain, and if its not coming off with spray cleaners then its time to replace.

every time you have a shower, just use the shower head to hose down the curtain with clean water, this will stop it as its the shampoo and shower gel that causes it to go orange

after showering, clean and dry the curtain, have a good air flow in the bathroom-ventillation.

Spray it with Lysol a few times a week.

Wash it in hot water and bleach once in a while, on the gentle cycle. That's what I do with mine, and it works like a charm.

Clean it and dry it after use, this happens because its wet all the time.
