Soaking it in soda crystals is a more eco-friendly option than bleach, just as good and no nasty after-smell. You can add the soda crystals to your bath water (when you've got out of your bath!) and leave it overnight. I put mine in the washing machine with soda crystals instead of washing powder and vinegar instead of conditioner. Works a treat. Putting a towel is in a good idea - will do that next time.

I am giving that a go now. Thanks everyone on here.

Hi, just notice this morning that my shower curtain was getting all nasty at the bottom, so bunged it in washer with a squirt of stardrops (into the drum)and a good glug of vinegar in the washer drawer. It come out just now, cleaner but still got mildew on there - any suggestions on how to get it clean?Thanks in advance.

make a paste of lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda then spread on mildew area leave to soak at least 1/2 hour....overnight if its really bad and rinse off

worked a treat on a shower curtain in student digs my ds was in.

I just usually buy a new one( if it gets really bad) for 97p in asda,,or is it tesco,,as I put four shower curtains up,,,I put the plastic white ones under the expensive ones and hang the cheap ones in the shower and the expensive ones out the shower,,we have one over the bath

hope this helps someone,,,but it wont help you get it clean,,sorry

I just wash mine on a 60 wash with some washing powder and a squirt of bleach also but my shower curtain is white so don't know if this might damage other coloured shower curtains.

We soaked ours in the bath with washing powder and it was pretty effective - we were soaking the bath in washing powder anyway as we couldn't get it clean so we chucked the shower curtain in at the same time!

There's an older thread on just this subject. I'll merge them so that you can browse the other suggestions
