Choosing the Right Squeegee Size and Accessories
Squeegee blade width directly affects cleaning efficiency and maneuverability. Narrow 6- to 8-inch blades excel in tight spaces and detailed work, while 12- to 16-inch models cover large surfaces quickly. Consider your typical cleaning tasks when selecting blade width.
Complete your window cleaning setup with complementary tools like cleaning cloths and mitts for preparation and finishing work. For comprehensive vehicle care, add tire and wheel cleaners and automotive brushes to maintain your entire vehicle's appearance.
What’s the Best Way to Store a Squeegee?
Store your squeegee in a dry, ventilated area. Some models include suction cups or hooks for hanging in showers or utility rooms. Keeping the blade off surfaces can help prevent warping or damage.
How Often Should You Replace a Squeegee Blade?
Replace the blade when it begins to leave streaks or shows signs of wear. The frequency depends on how often you use the squeegee and the surfaces you clean. Regular inspection can help you catch issues early.
