Window Cling question Sign In/Join

We just purchased several fall window gel clings. From the dollar store. Hung them on my glass screendoor.

Problem is that they keep falling off at different times of the day and night.

Is it because they get to cold during the nite (only in low 40's) and lose the ablitiy to cling or just bad clings. Is there anything I can to do to enchance the clingt

Maybe the quality is not as good as those from the big box stores. Did you wet the window and apply the cling with a squeegee type card?

We have had ours for many years now and no trouble with adhesion, winter, summer etc.

Try some double sided tape to hold the clings on the window.

wash your window real good then give the clings a small squirt of windex on the side that sticks to the door. Works for me!
