Tip of the Day: moldy curtain lining

I really have to credit this tip to my aunt. She and her mother are the cleanest people I know.  When I was very little my father was preaching a sermon and  asked me in front of the congregation to tell him a famous woman's name known for cleanliness. He was looking for the name Martha Stuart, but I replied "grandma!" It may have been my grandma who passed this knowledge down, but many years later When I was living north of Chicago my aunt and I were chatting about dorm room dirties. I had mentioned how hard it was to share a dorm suite with so many other people. She mentioned this easy trick for cleaning nasty mold off the shower curtain to save time and money. I have used it many times since. Now that we live in Florida, the mold is a nice red color. Even so, the tip hasn't failed me. I used it just the other day.

Supplies: 

Dirty shower liner

Top loading machine

Vinegar or bleach

Detergent

Tip:

Fill top loading machine with warm water.

Add a half a cup of bleach or white vinegar (vinegar is the more eco friendly option of course, and this is the one I used.)

Then

Simply throw the plastic shower curtain liner into your top loading washer with some detergent. (I also threw in some white rugs)

Run the cycle just as you would any other white load.

The results are as if the liner was brand new. Just hang it back up on its rod to dry.

That's it!

Stay clean and adventurous my friends.
