But now you have to have a shower door.

I buy mildew free ones for the inside liner. I replace them every 4-5 years.

I've read that you can just throw the plastic ones in the washer.

Daily shower cleaner on the liner. Spritz and it runs down. Also definitely spread out the curtain so it can dry.

Inside, not instead.

Turn on the fan to help with ventilation? Pull out the curtain to try?

After a shower, I put the outside curtain over the rod and let the liner dry on the outside of the tub.

Every six months or so, I replace the liner.

I just make sure I keep the curtain drawn after I take a shower so that it can dry out.

I replaced my nylon shower curtain liner with a hemp shower curtain liner. No mildew, easy to wash, no chemicals. Hemp is the same stuff they make ship sails out of, so it's strong and wateresistant.

Once a year is pretty good. Stop being cheap.

Is it just me? I can't for the life of me figure out how to avoid mildew on my shower curtain. Seems like I have to replace it every year, despite washing it with the towels and doing some soaking in oxiclean here and there to keep it fresh.

What am I doing wrong? Or is it normal to replace every year? I swear when I used to buy those crappy plastic shower curtains in college and grad school they lasted for years and years and never looked the worse for wear.
