What would your bathroom be without a shower liner? The answer is damp! Granted, some countries reject the traditional bathroom for a wet room where, as the name implies, shower curtains and liners are not required.

Washing Machine Convenience: Most shower liners, whether plastic, vinyl, or fabric, can be cleaned in the washing machine.
Check the Care Tag: Look for the care tag on your shower liner, as it provides important washing safety instructions.
Fabric Liner Advantage: Fabric liners are particularly easy to clean, which is why we'll forever pledge our loyalty to fabric liners over plastic ones. They're also more flexible and easier to handle, less prone to developing creases and wrinkles, may resist soap scum buildup better than plastic liners, and are often made with materials that naturally repel water and are mold-resistant.

Cleaning Fabric Liners: Place your fabric liner in the washing machine with regular laundry detergent and add 1/4 cup of distilled white vinegar. The vinegar will help remove odors, brighten colors, and act as a natural fabric softener, leaving your liner fresh and clean.
Plastic Liner Tip: When washing a plastic shower liner in the washing machine, include a towel in the load to prevent bunching and enhance cleaning. Use regular detergent and distilled white vinegar.
Air Dry Only: Refrain from putting the liner in the dryer; instead, hang it back up to air dry naturally to avoid damaging the fabric or causing shrinkage.
Prevent Mold and Mildew: After washing, spray the liner with a vinegar/water mixture. Mix 1 part vinegar with 4 parts water and add it to a spray bottle. Regularly using this solution between showers helps combat mold and mildew.
