If you live in US, you might as well get rid of the dirty one and buy a new one. these plastic shower curtains are inexpensive in US. Additionally you may want to buy a shower curtain liner - which is available in dollar stores also. you can replace the liner every 3 - 6 months. this way the shower curtain stays clean for a long time
