Using this Bradley toilet paper dispenser is easy. First, make sure it's properly surface-mounted on the wall. Then, open the dispenser and place a single roll of toilet paper with up to a 5-inch core onto the chrome-plated plastic spindle. When you need to use the toilet paper, simply pull it out. As for maintenance, occasionally wipe the stainless steel surface with a soft, dry cloth to keep its bright polish. If you need to service the dispenser, the concealed spring allows the spindle to telescope. Be careful not to use abrasive cleaners on the dispenser as they may damage the finish.
