Using your Duravit Me By Starck Toilet Seat is easy. Just sit on it like you would with any toilet seat. For a comfortable experience, make sure you're seated correctly on the ergonomic shape. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the seat's surface. If there are stubborn stains, you can soak a cloth in a diluted vinegar solution and gently wipe the area. For maintenance, check the seat's hinges regularly to ensure they are tight. If you notice any loose parts, you can tighten them with a screwdriver. Also, keep the seat dry when not in use to prevent mold and mildew growth. With proper care, your toilet seat will last for a long time.
