Mold spots on shower curtains are inevitable in humid bathrooms—a classic problem we've all faced.
For machine-washable curtains, toss them in with a few cotton towels to prevent wrinkles. Add 250 ml of white vinegar to the first rinse cycle, then stop before the spin. Hang to dry for a flawless finish.
Alternatively, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the wash, then 150 ml white vinegar during rinse. Air dry as usual.
Can't machine wash? Spray undiluted white vinegar on moldy spots, let sit, scrub with a sponge, and rinse.

Non-removable? Fill a sturdy plastic bag halfway with white vinegar, secure it around the showerhead with a rubber band or tape, ensuring full submersion. Let sit 1 hour, then scrub holes.
