You don't fully appreciate how dirty it gets until you see it up close—mold, limescale, and all.
Thankfully, tackling mildew stains on a yellowed curtain is straightforward. Just load your washing machine with baking soda and detergent. Here's how:

2. Add three tablespoons of baking soda.
3. Toss in a few old towels to help with agitation.
4. Add your regular detergent.
5. Select a gentle cycle at 30°C maximum to prevent shrinking.
6. After the cycle, hang it up to air dry.

Whether it's white, clear, blackout, or made from PVC, PEVA, or EVA, this tried-and-true method breathes new life into it. Save money and skip the store—no replacement needed.
