Maintenance
Cleaning the Suction Cup
If the suction cup loses its stickiness, it can be reactivated:
- Detach the suction cup from its mounting surface.
- Wash the suction cup with warm water.
- Allow it to air dry completely. Do not wipe with a cloth, as this can leave lint.
- Once dry, the suction cup's adhesive properties will be restored.

General Care
