Can I machine wash this shower curtain using regular laundry detergent?

In looking at the package that my shower curtain came in, it is made of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) which is a thin soft type of Vinyl. I would say no, that it cannot be washed in a washing machine. The care instructions are to clean with a damp cloth with soap and to air dry. It's really a pretty shower curtain, although a little thin, and it is not made out of a cloth fabric. I hope this helps.

You can unhook it and wash it. So, that said, you can probably take it to the laundromat.

Yes. You could probably google the actual washing instructions for the fabric. At my house, I machine wash cold and line dry. Three teenage boys, lots of wear from wet swimsuits and towels ... If you're going to make your own project remember to buy UV thread!!!

Sure just use a mild detergent or hand soap and wash by hand only. Air dry, and your ready to go in a couple of hours or so..

I sure don't see why you couldn't. Better than trashing the drapes. I'd mix it according to directions. Then, I think I'd spray heavily ('til wet) all of the area needed, then "scrub" (hand wash) that part in a deep / laundry sink. Not sure the entire drape would need it. Only you will be able to assess that.

You really need to have a huge washing machine that even try this. Anyway, I don't think it is machine washable.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

I have not washed it in a machine, however, I do not know why you couldn't.

No. I tried using it on my fabric shower curtain liner and it didn't work. I had to rewash with bleach which did work. It does work better than bleach though in laundry for pure white clothes only.

Their own description claims: "No pre-wash necessary, Machine wash and dry." There were no qualifications about how you washed it in a washing machine, so wash it normal like anything else.

I don't think that they recomend machine washing. Use a light detergent or water with a dry cloth. Type in carl's place in a search. Find the site (carlofet.com I think?) & you can find your answers there. There is a # you can call too.

Yes you can but you can't use detergent at same time as the ball. If you have stains, use stain remover or add OxyClean type product to the washer.

I have not laundered the curtain as yet, but when I do I will do so with gentle wash, and let it air dry. I understand your concern as I felt the same after reading the reviews. The curtain is very nice and even though it is white it has not gotten dirty. I think it should be okay with caution. I hope that this is helpful.

Yes. I washed it in cold water with a regular fregrance free detergent. I hung to dry. Oh and after reading the other posts, I did use my top loader on delicate. Looks great.

Yes you can put into the washing to wash it. Or you can just rinse in the shower.

I'm not sure about washing it in a washing machine. We spray ours down with a vinegar and water solution.

I use regular laundry detergent, no fabric softener or bleach. The fabric softener would act as a barrier for absorption. The tag on the pads say to machine wash and tumble dry.
