IKEA BJÄRSEN shower curtain: rinse and wipe, don't machine-wash

IKEA's BJÄRSEN shower curtain is made from PEVA. The maker says do not machine-wash, bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry-clean; periodically rinse and wipe with a damp sponge.

Shower curtains do not all have the same cleaning instructions. IKEA Korea's BJÄRSEN product page specifies no laundering and advises regular rinsing plus a damp sponge. Other textile curtains may be washable, so identify the exact product and material before cleaning.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Confirm the care label shows BJÄRSEN (article 404.437.03). Do not apply these instructions automatically to other models.
After showering, spread the curtain out so water can drain and use a bathroom exhaust fan or window to reduce moisture.
Lightly rinse away soap residue and water marks from the BJÄRSEN surface with water.
Use a soft damp sponge for surface grime. Avoid abrasive scrubbing and do not put the curtain in a washing machine.
IKEA prohibits bleach, tumble drying, ironing and dry-cleaning for this curtain. Never mix cleaning chemicals.
Allow the curtain to dry spread out; consider replacing it if torn or severely stained beyond practical cleaning.
