Any shower curtain will turn yellow over time, acquiring an unaesthetic appearance and a musty smell.
A damp environment is a fertile ground for the growth of fungi and mold.
Causes of yellowing
Yellowing is a result of poor ventilation and high iron content in the water.
The latter is not immediately noticeable. A clear liquid flows from the tap, but when it comes into contact with air, it gradually turns into a rusty coating.
Pink mold is spread by bacteria that accumulates on walls, floors, curtains. It often has an orange or reddish tint. It can cause health problems.
How to clean a curtain
You can change the curtain from time to time, or sometimes just soak it in a special solution. You can make a cleaning liquid at home. It will return the product to its former appearance.
Pour hot water into a bucket or basin, then add a glass of soda and 2 packets of citric acid. After mixing, place the curtain in the solution for 5-10 minutes. After the specified time, go over the remaining dirt with a brush, rinse the curtain and hang it up to dry.
