    I wash shower curtains in the machine as well, but have found a good way to stop my pretty curtain going mouldy :D

    You can buy thin white shower curtains for as little as £1 - hang one of those on the wrong side of your good curtain and it will keep the moisture off it, when the cheap one goes mouldy throw it away and get a new one! :)

    ...and when it's clean, soak it in salt and water before hanging back up. Stops the mildew or mould coming back

    if it's so rinkled you can't bear it iron it BUT put a towel over the top of it so you don't burn the plastic...and ruin your iron...then get a cheap plain white one £1 from the poundland and stick that up with your nice patterned one...easily reusable as a dust sheet when it's had it's day...:D
