Nifty Tricks- Shower Curtain Nightmare


So I have decided to create a section in my blog dedicated to Nifty tricks that are picked up, that just help with everyday life!


I decided to make my first one dedicated shower curtains. For those of you who notice in your shower or on your shower curtain, build ups of flaky, or reddish pink spots, they are not harmless. When scientists looked at it under a microscope they found, a mix of soap, bacteria and bacteria waste products or mucous that forms thin, crusty layers. This bacteria can cause many health problems. And for you women, it can even cause UTI's. But there is a way, other than harsh soap scum products to get those vinyl and plastic shower curtains clean. It is recommended that once a week you clean it. The easy way that I use is to stick it in the washer, on hot! let the heat kill the bacteria. You don't have to use soap/detergent, but if you would like that's fine, especially if it has bleach or a bleach alternative. Once it is done, let it air dry, and then put it back in the bathroom. If your concerned because it comes out with wrinkles, don't worry, the heat and steam from your next shower will take that all away.



If you have any Nifty tricks of your own, that you'd like to share feel free to email me at morgan.constantin@gmail.com
