Like âA Tisket, A Tasketâ or âHey Diddle Diddleâ or even âI Am the Walrus,â the rhyme we call âRing Around the Rosieâ has no particular meaning, regardless of our latter day efforts to create one for it.
Mold and Mildew Treatment. Instead of adding bleach to the wash cycle -- which will also get rid of mold and mildew -- run a gentle wash cycle with 1/2 cup of baking soda added to the detergent in warm water. Add several towels or linens to the load. Add a 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. After rinsing, hang the shower curtain to drip dry from the shower curtain rod or outside in the sun, which also kills mold and mildew. The vinegar helps remove stains and helps to prevent mold and mildew. Keeping it Clean. Mold, mildew and bacteria build up on the folds of the shower curtain liner over time.
There's nothing worse than stepping out of the shower fresh and clean only to be met by an awful dank odor coming from your towel. These linens are a prime spot for mildew to grow since they often stay damp for long periods of time. Fortunately, there is a way to get rid of mildew smells from towels that is simple and easy. First, wash the towel in a washing machine using a quarter cup of baking soda and hot water. (You can put other light-colored clothes in to make a full load.) After the cycle completes, wash it again using regular clothing detergent and a quarter cup of white vinegar. Finally, dry the fabric in a drying machine that is set on the hottest and longest setting.
