Instructions for Charishma’s Plastic Shower Curtain Cleaner

Prepare the Cleaning Solution
In a clean spray bottle, combine 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of bleach, and 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol. Carefully shake the bottle to ensure the ingredients mix well. This powerful cleaning solution will tackle mildew, dirt, and soap scum. -
Spray the Shower Curtain
Generously spray the cleaning solution directly onto the dirty plastic shower curtain, focusing on areas with visible mildew or stains. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the curtain for an even clean. -
Let It Sit
Allow the solution to sit on the shower curtain for 5 minutes. During this time, the bleach and rubbing alcohol will break down dirt, mildew, and grime, preparing them to be scrubbed away easily. -
Scrub the Curtain
After 5 minutes, take a scrubbing brush and gently scrub the surface of the shower curtain. This step will help remove any stubborn buildup. Be thorough but gentle, especially around the seams and folds. -
Rinse the Curtain
Once the curtain is scrubbed clean, rinse it thoroughly with water. You can use a hose, a handheld shower head, or a mug of water to pour over the curtain. Keep rinsing until all the cleaning solution is washed away and the water runs clear. -
Dry the Curtain
Allow the curtain to dry by hanging it back in the tub or shower. The fresh, clean curtain will dry naturally, and any leftover moisture will evaporate, leaving it fresh and mildew-free. -
Enjoy
Stand back and admire your sparkling, clean shower curtain! It’s as good as new, and your bathroom will thank you for it.
Notes
- Always make sure to use this cleaner in a well-ventilated area, as bleach and rubbing alcohol can release strong fumes.
- If your shower curtain is particularly stained, you can repeat this process or let the cleaner sit a bit longer before scrubbing.
- Always rinse the curtain thoroughly to remove any bleach residue, which could cause discoloration over time.
Why It Works
The combination of bleach and rubbing alcohol is highly effective in breaking down mildew, soap scum, and accumulated dirt. Bleach acts as a powerful disinfectant, while rubbing alcohol helps to cut through grime and evaporates quickly, leaving your shower curtain looking as good as new. This method is not only efficient but also budget-friendly, making it a perfect homemade solution for your bathroom cleaning needs.
Enjoy your refreshed bathroom, thanks to Charishma’s easy and inexpensive shower curtain cleaner!
