Question:

can i wash my bathroom rugs in the washing machine along with the shower curtain?

can i pop them in the dryer briefly? or would they burn the rugs have a rubber bottom . thanks also wat cycle should i useDOnt be rude

Answer:

If you are talking about a plastic shower curtain, then that would be okay. In fact they would help to scrub the curtain in the washer. But don't put either one in the dryer. Just hang the curtain back up after you wash it. Use a gentle cycle, warm wash and warm rinse. Take the curtain out immediately before it gets too cold. Because if it is plastic, it could crack. I have a front loader washer. Use a slow delicate cycle for a top loader.
Absolutely not! Shower curtains tear too easily in the washing machine. I wash my shower curtain with bedsheets only, using the gentle cycle on the washing machine. Anything outside of this will surely result in you needing to buy another shower curtain. As soon as shower curtain load is done washing, hang the shower curtain back up immediately. This will allow the shower curtain to straighten itself out without too many wrinkles.
I wash my bathroom rugs on the delicate cycle in cold water and then in the dryer on the lowest heat setting. If you're talking about a plastic shower curtain liner...I used to wash mine and hang it either back in the tub or outside on the line. It wasn't long before it had little cuts in it though, so I don't know if you should do that. Sometimes I just soak it in the tub in some bleach water, though I should add that my plastic curtain isn't colored.
I wash the rugs on the regular cycle by themselves. Because of the rubber backing don't put them in the dryer. Lay them out somewhere. (You could put them in the dryer without any heat - fluff air or whatever your dryer calls it - but I find without heat not much drying takes place anyway, and the rugs get a little extra beating up that they don't if you lay them out to dry.) I wash the shower curtain by itself on gentle (if necessary). This, too, shouldn't go in the dryer because most curtains have that vinyl strip across the top where the rings go through. In answer to your question, though, can you wash everything together? Sure. You could if you had to. Most people don't.
Yes you can but on gentle and pop only the rugs in the dryer on low heat to get the dampness out. Oh yeah and your shower curtain..depends on if it's the liner or the curtain. If its the liner buy a new one if its really bad cuz they are a pain in the but to clean. If it's the actual curtain sure go ahead and wash it as long as your rugs and your curtain are the same color wash them together gentle and on cold. -air dry your curtain tho,as there is plastic at the top, and would melt in dryer if dried.
