Most shower curtains now days can be run through the washing machine.. will keep the scum from gettingon them and the mold..
Instead of shoving them back all waded up on the rod when you get out of the shower pull them back closed so that the water will drip off of them with out getting all moldy.
I take my shower curtains down about every two months and wash them keeps them looking good.. put them in alone so nothing tears them while washing.

If the curtain is vinyl, put about 1/2 cup of bleach in a big spray bottle. Fill the bottle up with water. Take the curtain off and put it outside or in your kitchen (wherever you can comfortably lay the entire curtain down flat). Spray the moldy side first. Wait about 5 minutes, then wipe down with paper towels. I say paper towels because sponges or cleaning towels will remove the mold, but you will have to re-wipe to make sure all the mold is gone. If you want to be extra clean, do the same thing to the non-moldy side. If the curtain is fabric, you can wash it on the delicate cycle and hang it up to dry.

Get a new one. They are cheap enough. Also you should open a window when taking a shower. Make sure that you wipe the shower curtain dry after your showers. That should help the problem.

Just buy a new one, and when you've finished in the shower pull it fully across the bath to spread it out and let it dry properly.

Give it a good squirt of a bleach spray, and continue to do so regularly after showering, it soon goes away

You know what.... they are so cheap now, what's the point... go to Woolies or Ikea, you can pick another up cheaper that the cleaning product!
And don't be so skanky in the future...... give it a spray with some shower cleaner everytime you get out!

Buy a new one, or throw it in the wash machine with some bleach.

I use a liner behind my curtain. They are inexpensive so I just replace it every so often.
