SPRING WALL OWNER’S MANUAL
Care and Cleaning
Wipe surfaces using warm water with mild soap and clear
water rinses for day-to-day cleaning. Ensure soap does not
leave an oily residue, or make surfaces slippery.
If handles require cleaning, use a mild solution of soapy
water and rinse well.
CAUTION:
We do not recommend using chemical-
based products.
