How do I clean a vinyl shower curtain without a washing machine?

Question

Any tips on a good way to clean a vinyl shower curtain without using a washing machine? Can I soak it in the tub with something? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Would soaking it with baking soda, vinegar, detergent, some combo...etc, help?

Answer 1

If this is just a cheapo shower curtain liner, just toss it and buy a new one. They only cost like $2. If this is a "fancy" one with a pattern or something, fill the tub with water and maybe a 1/4 bottle of bleach and let it soak for an hour. Then drain and rinse. Then buy a cheap, clear liner that can be throw away to keep the good curtain clean.

Answer 3

Bam and elbow grease. Would be much easier to get a new one. Try soaking it in vinegar and oxy clean first in the tub with a little hot water.

Answer 4

I take mine down, lay it flat on the floor and use some "elbow grease", which is an English term for a bit of physical work. If you use washing up liquid or soap powder, with water of course, you will find it cleans easily. Rinse it after, job done in 5 minutes or so.

Answer 5

I wash mine in the washing machine by itself hot water and regular laundry detergent. After the first wash cycle, I stop the machine before it can drain and spin and take it out. I then transfer it back to the bathroom in a laundry basket still wet and hang it back up to dry on the curtain rod. It comes out just like new.

Soak it in the tub with some bleach and detergent..

Answer 7

The easiest way that I have found is to spread it out on the deck floor, wet it, put a drop or two of liquid cleanser on it, and sponge mop it. Then I drape it across the deck rail in the sun for a few minutes. It dries nice, neat, and wrinkle free.

Answer 8

Soak it in the tub. If it's just dirty, use something like Dawn, but if it's moldy, add some bleach.

Answer 9

spray it with a product like lime away, then rinse really well
