I have a vintage vinyl curtain and shower curtain that need a good cleaning. Both are yellowed and the clear one reeks of cigarette smoke so I'm guessing that's the culprit of the yellow on it. The other one doesn't have a smell, but the curtain is more yellow at the top so gives the curtain a more peachy color with the bottom of the curtain being more of the original pink shade. I guess the yellowing could be the result of cigarette smoke but also maybe by a space heater?? It's slightly sticky as well
Any ideas on where to start on these? Can the yellowing be removed? |

Vinyl like many other plastics tend to yellow with age depending upon circumstances (think those plastic slip covers your Nana had on her living room furniture).
Sometimes yellowing can be reversed, others not. www.howtocleanstuff.net/h... |
