Got a dingy shower curtain?
Most people don’t even look at it until it’s dingy, has hard water stains, and pink slime on it – which is a bacteria no one wants in their showers. Don’t waste the time scrubbing it just replace it?
The shower curtain holds the most bacteria out of any surface in your bathroom including your toilet and seat that also includes your shower floor and faucet. The bacteria that a shower curtain has is disgusting but also harmful to people. 93% of the germs of a shower curtain can be harmful to you.
How often should I clean my shower curtain?
So that leads us to the question how often should you clean your shower curtain and what’s the best way to do so?
There are multiple answers to this question but the quick one is at least once a month or you can do it three times a month. If you have a cleaning service in the area of Davisburg Michigan you can have them clean your bathroom for you. Once a month have a deep bathroom cleaning that includes the shower curtain.
The best way to clean and disinfect it if you do it yourself is to use an all-purpose cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water and then wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and then rinse it. Let the shower curtain air-dry and then disinfect it this will get rid of most of the germs. Use a disinfectant spray that is bleach-free.
When should you think about replacing the shower curtain?
You should change out the shower curtain every six months if the shower is being used at least twice a day with some ventilation in the bathroom. But if you live where you have hard water and zero ventilation every three months is a good suggestion.
If you have a perfect bathroom like brand new after a bathroom remodel let’s say and the ventilation is good, soft water and you don’t use the shower every day you could get nine months out of the curtain.
A good option for a shower curtain
