How to Use the Window Blockout
The reusable static-cling Window Blockout is the perfect solution for babies, toddlers, shift workers (or anyone!) who need total darkness in their room to sleep. A completely dark room during sleep will help stimulate melatonin production (that magical hormone that helps regulate sleep/awake cycles); be comforting for your baby; and help prevent early waking or late settling during summer and daylight saving.
How to Use the Window Blockout Blinds
1. Gather the following tools: Spray bottle or damp cloth, Pen, Measuring tape & Scissors
2. Measure your window and Window Blockout Blind
3. Cut the Window Blockout according to your measurements
4. Use a spray bottle or a damp cloth and lightly apply water to your window
5. From the top corners of your window, slowly apply the Window Blockout shiny side against the glass
6. You can peel off the Window Blockout Blind and re-apply it when needed!
How to get the perfect fit on your windows
1. Measure twice, cut once.
2. Cut slightly more (1cm or so) than your measurements to allow a buffer for uneven windows. Once applied, trim away excess if needed.
3. Ensure window is clean before applying. Lightly mist your window before applying for better stick.
4. Hairline fractures from uneven windows can be covered using tape if desired
5. If the blind bubbles or becomes unstuck, try cleaning your window and applying a light mist of water before reapplying.
6. Ensure the blind is free of debris, pet hair etc. These things will affect the static cling.

Caring for your blind
Wipe both sides down with a damp cloth as needed.
Ensure the shiny side of the blind is free of dirt, fluff, debris, pet hair etc. These things will affect the static cling and may cause the blind to peel off.
Storage and transport
Roll or fold for storage. As the blind sticks with static, it can be safely rolled or folded, without sticking back onto itself.
The blinds can be taken down daily to let light in. We recommend you store them in a way that dust, fluff, pet hair or other debris cannot be collected on the blind whilst off the window.
