Why do I have mold on my shower curtains?

• <div><p>You probably have mold on your shower curtains because mold and mildew thrive and spread in warm, dark, wet, and unventilated spaces. Your shower is the perfect environment, especially the shower curtains, because they trap water in the folds and creases, plus they’re exposed to the most water spray. The best way to ensure mold stays off your shower curtains is to keep it dry so it doesn’t have a place to grow. Doing this can also help keep <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-mold-bathroom-ceiling.htm">mold off your bathroom ceiling</a>.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep clothes fresh in long-term storage?

• <div><p>First, ensure your clothes are clean before you pack them. When packing, make sure they&rsquo;re folded and stored within the container with enough room to breathe. For extra protection, try using cedar chips or lavender sachets, which naturally repel bugs. Lastly, periodically checking in on your clothes will help you stay aware of their condition. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to wash everything after fumigation?

• <div><p>Anything that might have been exposed to fumigation chemicals should be washed before use. Wipe down and sanitize surfaces like countertops and tables, and wash all utensils (or take care to store them in an airtight box beforehand), as well as anything else that could find its way into someone&rsquo;s mouth, like kid or pet toys. </p></div>

Q: Can I clean my drapes myself?

• <div><p>In some cases, it&rsquo;s possible to clean your drapes yourself, but usually only if you can machine-wash the drapes. You can check the &ldquo;how to wash&rdquo; tag on the drapes for instructions. If the tag is missing or if the material is dry-clean only, we recommend leaving the work to a professional drape cleaner. Performing the wrong type of cleaning or using the wrong cleaning solutions on sensitive materials can destroy your drapes. A professional drapery cleaner will apply the correct solutions for safe, deep cleaning.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean the shower curtains?

• <div><p>If you proactively avoid grime buildup and mold growth, you can clean the shower curtains as needed. However, if you forget to take preventive action, a good rule of thumb is to clean fabric curtains about every three months. And you&rsquo;ll clean plastic liners and curtains every three to four weeks.</p></div>
