You can try soaking the fabric shower curtain in a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar for about an hour before washing it at thirty degrees. Vinegar's acidity helps kill mildew. If that doesn't work, consider using a mildew-specific cleaner compatible with the fabric and temperature.

1.	Pre-Treatment: Before washing, spot treat the mildew stains with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply the solution to the affected areas and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to help loosen the mildew.
	2.	Wash with Baking Soda: Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the washing machine along with your regular detergent. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and can help lift mildew stains from fabric. Wash the shower curtain according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using the gentle cycle and cold water.
	3.	Vinegar Rinse: After the wash cycle is complete, add 1 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Vinegar helps to kill mold and mildew spores and removes any lingering odors.
	4.	Sun Dry: Hang the shower curtain outdoors in direct sunlight to dry. Sunlight has natural disinfecting properties and can help further eliminate mildew stains and odors.
	5.	Repeat if Necessary: If the mildew stains persist after the first wash, repeat the treatment process until the stains are completely removed.
