6. Maintenance
The chrome-plated surface of your Keuco towel ring is designed to be easy to clean and is anti-static. Regular cleaning will maintain its lustrous finish.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and water spots.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome or bathroom fixtures. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, wipe the surface, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners), or acidic cleaning agents, as these can damage the chrome finish.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Towel ring feels loose. | Mounting screws are not tight enough or wall anchors are not secure. | Carefully re-tighten the mounting screws. If the anchors are loose, consider using larger anchors or relocating the towel ring. |
| Chrome finish appears dull or stained. | Water spots, soap residue, or improper cleaning agents used. | Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild chrome cleaner. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying after each cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials. |
| Towel ring does not swivel smoothly. | Accumulation of dirt or mineral deposits in the swivel mechanism. | Clean around the swivel points with a damp cloth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant (avoid oil-based) can be applied if necessary, but typically not required for this product. |
