keep or toss: shower curtain liners
When your shower curtain liner gets dirty, do you replace it or clean it?

I just throw it in the washer with a bit of bleach and detergent and wash it. Then just hang it back up to dry

I throw it out because the holes are usually all ripped. I cut out the magnets and save them though.

My liner is fabric, so I wash it. It's lasted for many years and still has many years left to give.

We toss them when they get yucky. I use to clean them years ago, but not anymore.

We clean them -- if they get really bad, we buy new ones at the Dollar Store. I keep the old ones for paint drop cloths. . . to put under the tents, when we go camping. . . . to protect my plants from frost in the fall /spring. . .

Some I've kept, and some I've tossed. I had an expensive one I bought from The Clean Team. I washed that one multiple times, but after a few years, it became very rigid and weird, so I finally tossed it. We've kept some as drop cloths for painting projects, although I think I've even trashed all of those now because they became so grungy.

We save them and use them as drop cloths. I try to buy ugly ones on a major clearance so I can get better quality.

~Wash. I'm on my third liner from the dollar store in 7 years. The last 2 were flimsy but this one is nice and thick. It should last longer than 3 years.~
