Using this Bradley toilet paper dispenser is a breeze. First, open the hinged hood. Then, place a single roll of toilet paper with up to a 5 - 1/2 - inch core on the chrome - plated plastic spindle. Close the hood, and you're good to go. When it comes to the paper, you can pull as much as you need thanks to the non - controlled delivery. For maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to clean the bright - polished stainless - steel housing and hood. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. If you need to service the spindle, the concealed spring allows it to telescope. Just be careful as the hood is non - removable, so don't try to force it off. That's all there is to it, and you'll have a reliable toilet paper dispenser for a long time.
