Window Squeegees Leave Your Glass Streak Free
Did you know that the window squeegee started out as a tool for sailors in the 18th century to clean the decks of their ships? As you can imagine the squeegee has improved a lot since those days and we can use the window squeegee for a lot more today. We tend to use the window squeegee for cleaning car windows as well as shop and home windows. You can also use it to clean mirrors, the walls in your bathroom and your shower screens. On eBay you will find a range of designs and sizes to suit your needs.
Window squeegee buying guide
The first step in window squeegee buying is deciding what kind of window squeegee you want. You will need a squeegee with a flexible rubber blade for cleaning the glass of your home. For commercial use, you may need a tougher blade style so check the description before you buy. Other features to consider include:
- A squeegee with an ergonomic handle is a good investment, particularly if you use it often, as you can swivel it from side to side to save your wrists from pain or aches.
- There are several types of window squeegees available. You can choose a small handheld squeegee for use in the shower or a long-handled one for tall windows.
- A good window squeegee will create a seal against the glass and remove water with each stroke. You should check for models that scrub and squeegee as these can be convenient for cleaning multiple windows in one hit.
- A squeegee with a flexible head will provide more leverage.
Choose a squeegee that will suit your needs and budget – just make sure it is durable and easy to clean. Get some cleaning gloves as well to save your hands, and you’ll need a cleaning bucket for the water.
As you shop for your window squeegee, think of other areas you can use them and consider purchasing a different one for each purpose. Keep one in the garage for when you clean the car, buy one specifically for the shower with its own hook so it is there when you finish. Look for extra savings when you purchase 2 or more items, one for each bathroom or give to family and friends.
