How To
Clean Your
Sun Shower
Curtain
(To keep it looking good and out of landfills)
What You'll Need:
- Method All Purpose Surface Spray. Promise, this is not an ad. We have tried so many other brands and homemade concoctions and this truly is the best.
- A soft, natural-bristle brush. Preferably something used like an old body brush so the bristles are "broken in" and won't.
Step 1
Take your curtain down from the rod.
Step 2
Lay it flat and spray the entire curtain with the surface spray. If you don't have the space to do this it's OK, just drape your curtain over the side of your tub or inside your shower.
Step 3
Scrub the entire curtain with your brush. Think of it like exfoliating dead skin cells from your face which is kind of what you're doing but with soap build-up. Apply a generous amount of pressure enough to create a lather — but don't scrub too hard or you will scratch the EVA.
Step 4
Rinse with a hose or your shower head and hang to dry.

What to Expect
You will notice far fewer soap and water marks after cleaning your curtain and you'll be stoked. But... your curtain will never be "brand new" once it's been used. Fact. Cleaning it is awesome and saves you money and the planet. Clean your curtain as often as you can to keep it looking good and out of landfills.
When you’re ready for a new Sun Shower here are some ways to up-cycle your used curtain:
- Picnic tarp
- Painting drop cloth
- Bike Cover
- Poncho
- Sled replacement (tested and approved)
A little something about hard water
Basically, hard water sucks for shower curtains. The high level of calcium and/or magnesium in your water leads to clingy water and soap build up that is almost impossible to remove. If you have hard water, try to clean your curtain more often to stay ahead of the build-up.
