A few months ago, a friend of mine told me that she uses a clear shower liner under her daughter's high chair to catch the food. When it gets dirty she just washes it. WHAT?!?! I had no idea! I gave it whirl a few weeks ago. I had nothing to lose as a new liner is only $1. I washed our dirty shower liner with detergent and bleach and sure enough, it came out of the washing machine in one piece and clean!
This is one of those times when I wonder what other great tricks I've been missing all these years!
I'm sure you can find lots of them at Works For Me Wednesday.

I have no idea you could do that! I wonder if it works on hard water stains (the reason I toss our $1 liners).
Phew! I was certain I was posting about something EVERYONE else knew! :-) Ours get a nasty orangish gunk on the bottom. We don't have a water softener so I'm sure the hard water is leaving junk on them!
I washed it in hot water with a good cup of bleach and detergent.
in cold water?? i need to do this.
did you just put it back in the bathroom to dry? or in the dryer?
Nope, hot water. And I just hung it back up in the tub to dry!
cool! i'm going to go home and try it tonight. :)

I do this! But I haven't been doing it for long! :) I sometimes add Oxyclean to the washer when I wash it and that seems to get the nasty junk off even better.
washing it with just vinegar cleans it too.
I remember how shocked I was when I heard this the first time. It really does work!
Thanks for this tip! Cleaning our shower curtain is one of my least favorite jobs...but washing it in the washer would make it so easy.
