Using this shelf is easy. For storing mops or brooms, just push the handle into the grip jaw of the pivoting serrated rubber cam with an upward motion. The spring will hold the cam against the handle, and gravity will keep the mop clamped. You can hang rags, mop heads, and towels on the utility hooks. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the stainless - steel parts regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the satin finish looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. If the mop holders get dirty, you can gently clean them with a mild detergent and water. Make sure to dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust, especially on the cadmium - plated steel mop holders.
