2. Clean the surface with a household cleaner.  Be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Rinse the inside of the suction cup under warm water.  Shake off any excess water.
4. Press the suction cup firmly in place.  Make sure there are no air bubbles between the cup and the surface you are mounting on.
5. Allow the suction cup to set before adding any weight.
