Using this shower curtain rod is easy. First, find a suitable place in your shower area to install it. Make sure the surface is clean and flat. Then, attach the flanges to the wall using the appropriate tools. After that, slide the rod into the flanges. When using it, hang your shower curtain gently on the rod. For maintenance, wipe the rod with a soft cloth regularly to keep its satin finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. Also, don't hang extremely heavy items on the rod to prevent it from bending or breaking.
