If your shower curtains are anything like mine, you know that they get dirty. You would think they would be the cleanest things in your house, but the damp conditions, hard water, and soap scum that builds up makes this a disaster waiting to happen.
To get your shower curtains clean and looking better than new, put the curtains in the clothes washer. Add 1 cup of bleach and 1 cup of detergent. Add several dirty towels (not microfiber) or a blanket to the washer and run on a gentle cycle using either warm or hot water. Right after the spin cycle, take the shower curtains out of the washer, take them back to the tub and shake gently to remove as much water as possible. Hang them back up to drip dry. The combined effect of gravity and the hot steam from using the shower or bath will cause any remaining wrinkles to disappear within a day.
All else fails, do what I do and buy a $5 Wal-Mart shower curtain every 6 months! Ha
