Does anyone know how to get rid of these stains on a shower curtain? Is it mildew?

Remove the shower curtain and place it in your washing machine along with a few towels (to help scrub the curtain). Add detergent and half a cup of baking soda during the wash cycle, followed by half a cup of vinegar during the rinse cycle. Hang to dry.
2. Hand Washing:
For delicate or fabric curtains, soak in a tub with warm water and a cup of baking soda. Scrub with a brush or cloth, rinse thoroughly, and hang to dry.
3. Using Bleach:
For mold and mildew, create a mix of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 4 parts water). Apply with a spray bottle, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub and rinse off.
4. Lemon and Salt:
An alternative for those sensitive to bleach: create a paste using lemon juice and salt, apply to the stains, let sit for a few hours, scrub, and rinse off.
Preventative Measures
1. Ventilation:
Ensure your bathroom is well-ventilated to reduce humidity levels. Use exhaust fans and open windows when possible.
2. Regular Cleaning:
Wipe down your shower curtain after use and clean it at least once a month to prevent the build-up of grime and mildew.
3. Dry the Curtain:
Always leave your shower curtain fully extended to dry properly after each use.
By following these steps and preventative measures, you can effectively manage and eliminate shower curtain stains, keeping your bathroom a cleaner and healthier environment.
