Using this hanging acrylic protective shield is easy. First, install the two ceiling mounts in the desired location. Then, attach the shield to the mounts using the provided 8 - foot wires. You can adjust the length of the shield by simply pushing a button until you get the right height. This shield is great for pedicure chairs and front desks to keep you and your clients safe. When it comes to maintenance, just use a soft, damp cloth to clean the acrylic panels regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Also, make sure to check the mounts and wires periodically to ensure they are secure. If you need to move the shield, detach it carefully from the mounts and store it in a safe place.
