GRO Anywhere Blackout Blind

Product Information

Press the center of each suction cup all the way down firmly to the glass and keep firm pressure for about 15 seconds. Then gently release the pressure until all the air bubbles inside are released, to firmly seal the cups to the surface. You’re trying to push all of air trapped between the suction cup and the window out from behind the suction cup. Try not to let the suction cups slide. If they slide easily you might have used too much moisture. Please do not pull on the blind to remove it from your window. Not only do you risk damaging the blind and eyelets, but you could damage the window itself. Clean the window you with soap and water. De-grease the glass with rubbing alcohol if necessary. Ordinary bathroom orwindow cleaners can leave a residue. Wipe clean with a soft lint-free cloth. To improve suction and help keep the seal tight, dampen your fingertip with water and lightly moisten the inner rim of the suction cup. This helps create a tighter seal. The key is to not get too much moisture… just barely enough to coat the surface.

Clean the window you are applying the suction cups to with soap and water (they won’t adhere well to a dirty surface). Creation Consumer Finance Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Register no. 311518).

Make sure both the inside of the suction cups and your window are clean and dry before application. The Portable Sleeptight Blind features this adorable Ollie the Owl print to make it appealing for your child. You can also get it in a moon and stars fabric.

Moisten the inner rim of the suction. A bit of water on your finger is the most common way. Please remember not to moisten the rim too much! Just enough to coat the surface of the rim - if the suction cups slide after pressing down, you have used too much water After a little research it seems that this is a possibility if the window already has some weakness and you use the blind constantly without giving the window any time to “breathe” and cool down.

You can safely apply a Gro Anywhere Blind to normal single or double-glazed windows in good condition.

I found I needed to fasten together around three along the width to make it fit my daughter’s bedroom and two to bring the height down for the window in her room, which is quite small. I suppose this is inevitable if you have to resize the blind as the pleats tend to gape out a little bit from the glass, allowing light to spill inside.

The closer the suction cups and the window are in temperature, and the closer this is to ‘room’ temperature, the better results you will have.

Make sure the window you want to attach the blind to is clean, especially where you’re going to attach the suction cups.

The suction cups may need to be ‘burped’ periodically by pressing down on them to remove any air that may have seeped in.
