I toss mine into the washer with warm water, white towels, some detergent and bleach. I put it in the dryer set on low or medium along with the towels and take out and hang it back up while still warm so it doesn't get all wrinkled or stuck together.

Jodi-

I use the washer to wash, then let them dry outside.

I use a cloth liner, and toss it in the wash (hot water) with the sheets and towels.

I use $2 or $3 liners. When they're gross, I toss them and buy a new one.

I toss mine in the washer and then hang it up while it is still wet.

I have a pretty fabric shower curtain, with the cheapo dollar store buck or two vinyl liner. I'm like Chloecat, when they are gross, I pitch them. I've never had luck washing them and have them come out o.k.

mine are fabric too so they get washed on the sanitized cycle with the silver ions on. I put it back up from the washer.

Washed in the machine and line dried

I've used the heavy duty plastic liners for years and they clean up pretty good with bleach for a while, then they do finally just start looking bad from lime deposits even when vinegar or Lime-Away is used.

We need the extra long size liners so all I can find at that length in the stores is the plastic.

However, I did just buy a plain, cream fabric one online in the longer size and love it. I do worry that it will get totally messed up when I rinse next time I color my hair though.

Jodi-

At .86-$1 each (you can always pick them up at the dollar or other discount stores), I don't think it's economical to wash them at all. Like several others, I use them for a month or two, we 'hose' it down after each use with the hand-held shower, and then I toss them and hang another.

Will suggest this--sometimes the cheapo ones do rip (usually at the last hole or two). That packing tape with fibers through it does a good job of repairing the problem and holds up well.

I use a fabric liner and toss it in the washing machine with the whites and a little bleach, then hang it up while still wet.

I use the fabric ones and throw in the machine!

You can re~use the vinyl liners before you toss them.
I've used them as drop cloths when painting, liners for
flower pots, weed block under rock/gravel or punch holes
or make a lot of slices through it and use around plants,
the slices allow water to pass through. A temporary tarp
over anything you want to keep the rain off..... I'm sure there are more.

Have a nice liner that I throw in with the light towels. Don't have to do it often though, I make the dd's close the curtain so it dries after each shower.

I toss mine in the washer with hot water and bleach. I hang it back up still wet and all of the creases come out in the first shower. It's a heavy curtain and has lasted quite a long time.

Ditto rhizo!

Heavy duty plastic one and I toss it into the washing machine with the blechable stuff, and hang it up to dry in place overnight. I've had it for years! I used to hate buying one repeatedly. Now I don't have to.

I do what Jodi does... exactly!

I wash mine on warm, with 1/3 cup of baking soda. Then we hang it back on its rod - it's a tub-shower combo - and it dries naturally. When it gets a permanent stain I just buy a new one. We've had three liners in seven years.

I first read about this method here on the KT!

The reason I don't hang mine up while still wet is because I'd have to carry it through an entire house of new carpeting and wood flooring. Drying on low or medium removes the water and smooths out the wrinkles and makes it much friendlier to hang than a stiff liner.

I put mine in the washer and it ended up all sliced up. Now I just buy a new one. Yeah I know it's wasteful. You can use the old dirty one as a drop-cloth or in the garden.

I use a cloth one. I do not like the strong plastic smell of the others. I have found once I wash the cloth one a few times it looses it's water repellent and water will wick right thru it and make a mess, has anyone else had this happen?
