How to Install the Futagami Brass Towel Bar 

Installing the Futagami Brass Towel Bar is a simple process. Before beginning, gather a drill, screwdriver, level, pencil, hammer, and optional wall anchors for added towel bar stability. 

After determining an appropriate location for the brass towel bar, grab your level, pencil, and the bar. Position the bar, using the level to ensure an even placement. Once leveled, use the pencil to mark the pilot hole locations. 

With a drill bit that is the same width as the supplied screws, drill the length of the screw into the pilot hole markings. After drilling your pilot holes, if using anchors for added stability, use the hammer to gently tap the wall anchors into place.

With a screwdriver, secure the towel bar to the wall with the included screws. That’s it! Time to revel in the charming new look and adorn your brass towel bar with a soothing Imabari towel to complete the luxurious bathroom scene! 

How to Clean & Maintain the Futagami Brass Towel Bar 

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to keep the bar clean. Optionally, you can use brass polish or cleaner on occasion if you want to restore the original luster of the metal. If you prefer the classic look of patina, skip the polish and simply clean on a weekly or monthly basis with a soft cloth to remove water spots, dust, and dirt.

Always avoid abrasive cleaners and rough scouring materials when cleaning brass. Harsh chemicals and excessive force can tarnish the finish and damage the longevity of brass.
