in Old style MoneySaving
So now I've got myself a nice shiney bath http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=4790044#post4790044 I would like to know if I can bring new life back to my shower curtain which we got new when I started the decorating, but you know these things take time :o

So my shower curtain is looking a little worse for wear can I get it looking like new again?

    I stick mine in the washing machine on a 30 degree wash, with a little bit of ecover bleach in the drawer - no detergent. It brings it up looking like new!

    As soon as the bottom of the curtain starts to look a bit yellowy you need to wash it. I just use a normal low temp wash with a little powder-whatever you normally use. Don't let them get too bad as scale get deep down in the weave and looks nasty.

    When you put a shower curtain in the washing machine, add a couple of towels too. The friction will help against the shower curtain ;)
