How to do
1. Fill your tub with hot water.
2. Soak your curtains in it.
3. Dilute the yeast in a glass.
4. Pour it into the tub.
5. Stir well.
6. Leave to soak for about three quarters of an hour.
7. Stir from time to time.
8. At the end of this time, wash your curtains in the washing machine, with your usual detergent.
