How to Keep Shower Curtain Clean:<\/h3>\n

Those who have shower curtains will know how dirty these can get after just a few showers. Mildew is a huge problem and can be very difficult to wash or scrub off some shower curtains. In order to avoid this fungus, take whichever of the following steps applies to you:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t use a shower curtain with etched or raised patterns<\/strong>; these allow moisture to build up in certain areas, providing the perfect conditions for mildew to develop. A smooth curtain will be less likely to develop mildew because the water can glide down instead of becoming trapped in certain parts. Not only this, it will also be much easier to clean.<\/li>\n
  2. Make sure your bathroom is properly ventilated during or right after you shower. <\/strong>Turning on your bathroom fan or opening a window will do away with the moisture and will prevent mildew from forming on your curtain.<\/li>\n
  3. Get used to wiping your shower curtain after every shower.<\/strong> If you think of cleaning in general as something of a chore, perhaps doing it more often but in much shorter spells is the best choice for you (even though it might not seem so at first). If you simply take one minute to briefly wipe away the moisture on your shower curtain after every shower, you will avoid having to spend much more time scrubbing away at it after mildew and dirt has accumulated on it.<\/li>\n
  4. Give your shower curtain a preventative mildew bath in 3 easy steps:<\/strong>\n
