GRO Anywhere Blackout Blind

Product Information

Press the centre 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. We bought a lovely one from Dunelm which has glow in the dark stars. It's a child safe one with no cord dangling” (Recommended by Mumsnetter Enicat5) Our verdict

If you want a stylish, permanent solution to your ‘too light to sleep’ problem, you might choose to invest in chic perfect fit blinds. Suited to most rooms - not just your baby’s nursery - these clever blinds are made to measure so that they fit within uPVC window frames perfectly (the clue is in the name). The installation is drill-free and you can then adjust the blind within each individual window pane to ensure your baby’s room has just the right amount of light. 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 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.The blind works with windows to a maximum size of 130cm by 198cm How to install the Tommee Tippee Sleeptight Blind 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. Starting with the upper corner of the window, work across the top first, then down the sides, and finally along the bottom. If the suction cup has become flattened or deformed, place it carefully in hot water for 2-3 minutes. This will help ‘make it more flexible, allowing it to return to its normal shape.

As you can see a small amount of light leaks around the edges but the room remains way darker than without the blind and it’s great for young kids who don’t nap on sunny days Large items (delivered by two people, such as appliances and furniture) can be returned using our Home Collection service. Look at perfect fit pleated blinds - can get them from blinds2go. You push little clips into the silicone around the window frame (assuming uPVC windows) and the frame clip in. You can remove it all when you leave, but they’re made to measure so probably not reusable elsewhere unless windows the same size. We’ve just got them for our bifold doors and they’re brilliant, strongly considering for DS2s room who’s started waking up pre-6 this last week.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter ThePug) Our verdict

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