Using this grab bar is easy. Just hold it firmly when you need support, like getting in or out of the bathtub. When installing, make sure to place it on a flat and sturdy surface. The snap - on flange covers can be easily put in place after the bar is mounted. For maintenance, wipe the bar with a soft cloth regularly to keep its satin finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Check the mounting hardware occasionally to ensure they are tight and secure. If you notice any signs of damage, replace the bar promptly to ensure safety.
