Maintaining Hardware and Glass
- Hardware: Following simple preventative maintenance steps will enhance the beauty and functionality of our hinges.
-
Our hinges are greased at the factory for quiet, trouble-free operation. However, if squeaking occurs after installation we suggest the use of 3-In-1 Oil. Do not use lubricating sprays such as WD40.
-
Never use an abrasive cleaner (such as Comet Cleanser or a similar product) on the hardware. Many of the components are coated with a clear lacquer that will be irreparably damaged if subjected to harsh, abrasive chemicals. Drying the hardware with a clean, soft towel on a daily basis is the best way to maintain it.
-
If mineral dep[osits form mix a couple of drops of a mild liquid soap (such as Ivory or a similar product) into a cup of warm water. Clean the hardware using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry.
- Glass: It is of equal importance to maintain the glass. Neglected glass will accumulate water spots, which will eventually turn into mineral deposits.
-
The bast way to keep glass clean is to squeegee the glass after each shower. A squeegee and good surface protector used together on a regular basis will assist in maintaining the original beauty of the glass.
By following these simple maintenance guidelines you will greatly extend the life of the hardware and the glass.
