Using this shower curtain rod is easy. First, find a suitable place in your shower area and mount the concealed wall brackets on the wall. Then, attach the flanges to the brackets. Finally, place the stainless - steel rod between the flanges. When using it, avoid hanging extremely heavy items on the rod as it may affect its stability. For maintenance, simply wipe the rod and flanges with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep them clean and shiny. If there are any stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap solution. Make sure to dry it thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust on the stainless - steel rod.
