I've always washed my shower curtains in washing machine with bleach, has anyone tried with this curtain? Another curtain I bought ruined that way.

Like you, I have also washed shower curtains before. Unfortunately with this one, the washer stripped the design right off and I had to throw it away.

I have never put a shower curtain in the washing machine! The liner is usually what gets dirty. When that happens I just replace the liner.

You mean detergent, right? Bleach can ruin plastics and release harmful byproducts. See the online video "Clean Your Shower Curtain & Mat."

I washed it all before I used it. Turned out great! Would suggest doing it on a perma press cycle. BB

Good Morning. Most of our customers have had no issues machine washing using the gentle or hand wash cycle. Line or lay flat to dry - slight touch up with a steam iron (if needed) and they look great! I am a single dad with 2 boys and use them on my bed. I have had no issues washing them - the ironing part I plead the fifth! Have a wonderful weekend. Craig Fishers Finery Customer Service

Brian, I've tried soaking the pads in warm soapy water to loosen some of the dirt before I wash them in cold water. I think the pads say "do not use bleach". I finally got so frustrated that I ordered new pads because they seem to be impossible to clean after a couple of uses. If you hear from anyone else, I'd be interested in their results.Thanks,Stephanie Kentala

I've only had mine up for a few weeks so I haven't experienced mildew yet. If they are mildewed then take down the snap-in liner and throw it in the washing machine. Also, I've noticed that my shower curtains tend to mold more quickly when I leave the curtain bunched up after a shower. Don't do that. I've used several different types (mildew resistant, PVC, etc...) and they all mildewed horribly. That's why I bought this one for the easy to remove snap-in washable liner.

I guess people have different opinions on shower curtains ;) Mine is good quality with metal grommets. I've only had it up a couple weeks but so far it's not mildewed.

I am using a liner with mine. The material of the curtain is really soft and nice, different than any other shower curtain I have owned. In my opinion it needs a liner because it isn't a water proof- like material. I love it!

I don't remember mine having any smell at all. But then I may be less sensitive to smell. You can wash the curtain in the washer so I'd give it a shot or just return it and get a new one. It shouldn't have a smell.

It's clear so you may want to use a fabric shower curtain for more privacy. In my personal bathroom I use it alone, but in my guest/fancy bathroom I added a nice fabric curtain as well. It's a pretty good shower curtain and pretty mildew resistant...but not 100%.

No. I use it as is. No liner to wash. I have washed the curtain in gentle cycle without any trouble.

I have sprayed my vinyl shower curtain with Spray 9 full strength and it doesn't seem to immediately change the darker color of mold to a white like bleach does (just with contact) but it did remove the mold after wiping with a sponge and it seems to prevent it from coming back as quick and the smell is much better than bleach.

I haven't washed my shower curtain yet. I have a thick clear curtain protecting the Dot curtain from water and soap. i do love this shower curtain and the quality of the fabric makes me think that this woudn't shrink. Personally, I probably would just rehang it to dry than putting it in the dryer.

I use a damp sponge that has been lightly sprayed with Lysol disinfectant spray. We've had the one in the master bath for several months, and it looks as new as it did when it arrived. I don't know if bleach would do any damage to the finish or not. Hope this is helpful.

You can definitely wash in the washing machine. After 6 months there was a little mildew on the bottom. Sprayed with Tilex, washed in cold water with regular detergent and came out really clean. Love this shower curtain!!!
