Parenting Pointers: Shower Curtain Recycling

Ever wonder what you can do with an old shower curtain? Here are some tips to give it a little more life before it hits the landfill.

- use it as an extended bathmat when you're washing dogs
- use it as a tarp under a picnic blanket for when you're sitting on the ground
- use it as a dropcloth for paint
- make an impromptu waterslide
- cover your grill or outdoor furniture
- use it as a sled
- cover the mattress under the sheets for a child who is working on toilet-training

Before you do any of these, make sure you've cleaned it. Either soak it in bleach/water or vinegar/water solution and wipe clean, or throw it in the wash with a few small washclothes. Let dry thoroughly.
