Using this shower curtain rod is easy. First, find the right place on your shower wall and install the concealed wall brackets. Then, attach the flanges to the brackets and finally, put the rod in place. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the rod and flanges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the satin finish of the rod or the polished look of the flanges. Also, make sure to check the brackets and connections regularly to ensure they are secure and the rod is stable.
