The suction cups on my blinds won't stickUpdated 7 months ago

Some surfaces don’t work well for suction cups. Start with a clean surface, and make sure it’s completely smooth — not rough or textured. Even a little bit of texture can be a deal-breaker. 

Use some white vinegar or rubbing alcohol to wipe down the window and the suction cup. That will take care of any greasy or slimy film you can’t see but that might be hurting the suction.

A little bit of water can do wonders for boosting a suction cup’s grip. Using warm water, rinse the whole cup so it softens up.

Shake any drops of water off the cup quickly and then put it up on the window. 

Cold temperatures can hinder the cup’s flexibility. You won’t get as good of a latch as you will in warmer weather. So, either put it up when it is still warm, or, if you must put it up in colder weather, keep the suction cup as warm as possible until you put it up.  

If you continue having issues with the suction, refer back to the product listing for your blinds and see the care instructions. You can also email [email protected] for more assistance.
