The biggest problem with shower curtains is the resultant moulds that tend to form on it because of always being in a damp environment. One thing that you can do is to remove the curtain maybe once every two or three days and hang it out in the sun. It will get a chance to dry out completely and the sun will get rid of the germs and bacteria.

Alternatively you can schedule to wash your curtains every time you wash your laundry as well or more frequently if you are someone who goes for long periods without washing your clothes. The trick is adding a cup of vinegar and bleaching agent to your normal detergent. Throw in some white towels and load the machine to its usually capacity, if it still does not fill to capacity.

Do not use hot water to wash the curtain as it might melt or possibly shrink in size. When you are drying do not throw it in the drier instead hang it out in the sun to dry.

Another idea that you can try is soaking the curtain in salt water or a mixture of salt water and vinegar after washing it and then put it back on the rod to dry from there. The salt water and the vinegar will prevent the formation of mildew and moulds.

You can use some of the sprays that are now available for use on shower curtains. The sprays are also designed to prevent the formation of moulds and mildew. The soap foam that tends to stick on the shower curtain should be washed down too.
