What’s the best way to clean a shower curtain? I can’t afford to keep changing it, and it’s so embarrassing when people come over!

* ½ cup of baking soda with your regular detergent in the wash cycle
* ½ cup of white vinegar during the rinse cycle
4. **Use warm water**, not hot, and set the machine to gentle.
5. **Hang it back up to dry**—no dryer! The steam from your next shower will help smooth it out.

#### 👉 Option 2: Bathtub Method (No washer? No problem.)

1. Fill your tub with warm water.
2. Add ½ cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar.
3. Swish it all around and let the curtain soak for 30–60 minutes.
4. Scrub any tough spots with a sponge or cloth.
5. Rinse thoroughly and rehang to dry.

### Pro Tips:

* **Do this once a month** (or at least every couple of months) to prevent build-up.
* **Keep it dry** between showers—spread it out and leave the bathroom door open for airflow.
* **Use a daily shower spray** (you can make one with water + vinegar + a few drops of tea tree oil) to keep mildew at bay.

### You Don’t Have to Be Embarrassed Anymore

Your shower curtain doesn’t need to be a source of shame. With a little baking soda, vinegar, and about 15 minutes of effort, you can revive it—and save yourself the money (and the awkwardness).

So the next time someone says, *“Mind if I use your bathroom?”*
You won’t panic.
You’ll smile.
Because your bathroom’s secret? It’s sparkling.
