Q: How do I maintain and clean my Towel Grab Bar?
A: Clean the Towel Grab Bar regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or bathroom cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Periodically check that all mounting hardware remains tight and secure to maintain the bar's weight-bearing capacity and safety performance.
