Okay....so I'm not the best housekeeper in the world. I tend to let things go and then go on a spree. Which is exactly what I did this morning....and I wanted to share a helpful household hint for those of you like me.
We have a vinyl shower curtain and liner. John and I tend to forget to stretch it back out after we get out of the shower. I keep a daily spray in the bathroom, but more often than not that gets forgotten, too. So I noticed that we were starting to get some mildew spots on the liner. It's not that old. I didn't want to buy a new one. So I asked around and learned a very helpful hint....ready?
YOU CAN WASH THEM!
Yes, yes you can. But you have to be careful. If you have a top leading machine, you need to toss in a couple of towels with it to keep the machine from unbalancing. Use a couple splashes of vinegar instead of detergent or bleach. Use warm water. Cold makes the vinyl brittle and hot makes it too soft and it will stick together. It can be dried, but air dry in the dryer (IE, no heat.)
This worked beautifully and saved me about twenty bucks. Now....go clean!
