Gro Anywhere Portable Window Blockout Blind

Preparation

Make sure the window is clean where the suction cups are going to attach.

Starting with the upper corner of the window, work across the top first, then down the sides, and finally along the bottom.

As you go around the window, adjust the size of the Blind to fit using the Velcro patches.

Troubleshooting

In order to achieve the best suction:

Clean the window you are applying the suction cups to with soap and water (they won’t adhere well to a dirty surface).

De-grease the glass with rubbing alcohol if necessary (bathroom/window cleaners usually leave a residue). Wipe clean with a soft lint-free cloth.

Enhanced Suction

To enhance suction and help keep the seal tight, dampen your fingertip with water and lightly moisten the inner rim of the suction cup.

If this does not work, a tiny dab of Vaseline or cooking oil may be rubbed on the rim of the cup. Press the centre of each suction cup all the way down firmly to the glass and keep firm pressure for about 15 seconds until a vacuum is created to firmly seal the cups to the surface.

Removal

When it’s time to remove the blind, or if you are taking it down to go on holiday, remember:

Don’t grab the blind and pull - this risks serious damage to the window glass. Simply pull on the release tab of each individual suction cup to break the suction. The ‘release tab peeling action' lets air in, and the suction cup stops sucking (this also eliminates damage to the cup edge caused by the 'fingernail removal picking action').
