How do I clean the cream finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the integrity of the finish.
What tools do I need for installation?

Extend the pole to the desired length and manually rotate the inner and outer pole sections firmly until you feel the locking mechanism engage.
