    Use a cloth to wipe it everything after shower.

    If you have time to do that, great, I don't have time to wipe 2m2 shower curtain down and dry it all off fully

    I wash it every so often but has brown marks on it that come off with a good scrub if I had space to do it properly!

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Just for information. I put my shower curtain through a hot wash in the machine every month or so and it's still going strong after 8 plus years. Can't seem to kill the thing.

    Generally speaking though shower curtains are not something I expect to last a long time. Personally I would get a cheap one and leave it there on moving out day.

    How do you dry yours then?

    Like some of the others I would wipe it down, not after every shower but at least once a week, give it a spray with a diluted bleach solution when cleaning the shower and every now and then (every month or so) put it in the washing machine. It's been a while since I've even had a shower curtain but back when I did I had it for four years and it was still perfectly white at the end.
