Using this Sklar shower curtain rod is easy. First, adjust the rod to fit your shower space between 42 and 72 inches. Then, install it by applying tension between the walls. Make sure it's firmly in place before hanging your shower curtain. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild soap to wipe the rod. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the gold finish. If you need to remove the rod, release the tension slowly. Keep the rod away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. Store it in a dry place when not in use to avoid rusting.
