Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and hygienic condition of your WENKO Bamboo Toilet Seat.

• Cleaning: The multi-layered varnished surface is smooth and easy to clean. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the bamboo finish and varnish.
• Drying: After cleaning, wipe the seat dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.
• Hinge Care: Periodically check the stainless steel hinges for tightness. If they become loose, gently retighten the nuts. The stainless steel is designed to be rust-free.

Troubleshooting

Seat is Loose or Wobbles:

• Check the tightness of the nuts underneath the toilet bowl. Gently tighten them until the seat is stable.
• Ensure the hinges are correctly positioned in the mounting holes.

Seat Does Not Align Properly:

• Loosen the hinge fixings slightly and adjust the position of the seat until it is centered on the toilet bowl. Retighten the fixings.

Surface Damage:

• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning, as these can damage the varnished bamboo surface. Refer to the "Care and Maintenance" section for proper cleaning instructions.
