4.1. Choosing Your Mount Type
Determine whether you will be using an inside mount or an outside mount for your blinds:
- Inside Mount: Requires a minimum of 2 inches of unobstructed depth within your window frame. The blinds will fit inside the window casing.

6. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your YELLOW BLINDS mini blinds, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the vinyl slats. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the blinds with a feather duster or a soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
- Durability: The vinyl material is designed to be durable and warp-resistant, minimizing the need for extensive maintenance.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your mini blinds, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Blinds Not Raising/Lowering Smoothly: Ensure there are no obstructions in the window frame or along the blind's path. Check that the bottom rail is grasped evenly when operating.
- Slats Not Tilting: Verify that the tilt wand is securely attached. Gently twist the wand to ensure the internal mechanism engages.
- Blinds Appear Uneven: Check that the mounting brackets were installed level. Minor adjustments to the headrail within the brackets may correct slight unevenness.
