Using this shower curtain rod is a breeze. First, find a suitable place in your shower where you want to install it. Make sure the surface is flat and clean. Then, attach the flanges to the wall using the appropriate tools and hardware. After that, simply slide the rod through the flanges. When it comes to maintenance, use a mild soap and a soft cloth to clean the rod regularly. This will keep its satin finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Also, don't hang overly heavy shower curtains as it may put too much stress on the rod and affect its performance.
