    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    Previously I have bunged it in the washing machine with biological washing powder and a hand towel and this worked rather well.

    Good luck!

    Mine goes in the machine at 60 degrees with some biological powder and a cup of vanish (the one in the pink tub). Does the job.

    definitely washing machine! Then just hang it back up to dry. Put in some fabric softener so it smells good too.

    I wash ours with the stuff that I use to wash cloth nappies, but if you don't have any already then buying some would probably cost more than a new one from ikea...

    We had a clear shower curtain when I was renting a house last year, used Smart Price thin bleach and left it on for a while and that worked well. Think thats only 19p so cheaper than a new curtain from Ikea and can be used for other cleaning too! Very MSE!!

    Washing machine with cup of bleach and squirt of stardrops.

    Not very green to throw it - I stuck mine in the washing machine on 30min cold wash with no detergent - it was a prezzie from someone from ThinkGeek (periodic table one) so didn't want to throw it. Came out sparkly and fresh smelling.

    Did this just yesterday - 40 degree/ 20min wash, small ammount detergent and small ammount bleech.

    Hung it back up to dry - worked a dream.
