Using this shower curtain rod is easy. First, find the right location in your shower where you want to install it. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Then, attach the swivel brackets to the wall according to the provided instructions. You can adjust the brackets to a maximum of 55 degrees for the best fit. After that, simply slide the rod into the brackets. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the rod and brackets regularly to keep them looking new. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the satin finish. Also, be careful not to put too much weight on the rod to prevent bending or damage.
