Maintenance

To insure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To
clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers,
metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

To insure long lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth.
Rinse and wipe of the glass using either soft cloth or squeegee to prevent soap buildup. Never use abrasive
cleaners and cleaning products that contain scoring agent because this may scratch the surface. Never use
bristle brushes or abrasive sponges.

To assure a long lasting finish wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as
soon as possible to prevent finish peeling or corrosion. After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stain less steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless
steel cleaner or polish, work with (not across) the grain. Never use abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or
wired brushes.
