I love to recycle my shower curtain liners!

When the liner gets beat up from regular use, cut out the magnets from the bottom of the liner - these can be used as backing for homemade refrigerator magnets. The liner itself can be used many ways. Here are some ways I like to reuse them:

under a table to protect the floor while kids are using playdough, paint, crafting, etc.

folded in half and placed under car seats to protect the fabric of your vehicle seat - when it needs changing, just roll it up and shake it out! Then hose it down, let dry and put back on top of the vehicle seat

on the floor of your car/van - protects the floor of your vehicle from food/drink spills, plus muddy/dirty shoes. Tuck the edges under the floor mats to hold the liner steady to prevent kids from slipping.

in the trunk of your car - to protect the trunk liner from bleach spills, sand from beach trips, etc.
under a car while doing oil changes or other vehicle work

Good ideas! I've used mine as drop clothes for painting.

If it's just moldy and not torn you can run it through your washer - just stay close, don't let it spin. Hang to dry!
