Choosing The Right Window Squeegees

When selecting a window squeegee from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider the blade material first. Neoprene rubber blades offer excellent durability and resistance to wear, whilst silicone rubber provides superior flexibility and longevity, particularly in varying temperatures. Both materials deliver streak-free results when properly maintained.

The blade width should match your typical working surface. Wider blades cover more area quickly on large windows, whilst narrower profiles suit smaller panes and awkward spaces. Handle design is equally important – ergonomic grips reduce fatigue during extended use, and multi-change systems like Wolf Garten's offer versatility by accepting different heads on a single handle.

Consider whether you need a flexi-blade design such as the Sealey Aqua Water Remover, which conforms to curved surfaces like vehicle windscreens. For professional use, invest in quality construction that withstands frequent daily use and regular blade replacement. Look for squeegees with easily replaceable blades to extend the tool's lifespan and maintain optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace my squeegee blade?

Replace your squeegee blade when you notice streaking, skipping or visible damage to the rubber edge. Professional window cleaners typically replace blades every few months depending on usage frequency, whilst domestic users may find blades last six months to a year. Always store squeegees properly to prevent blade deformation.

What's the difference between neoprene and silicone squeegee blades?

Neoprene rubber blades are cost-effective, durable and perform well in most conditions. Silicone blades typically last longer, remain more flexible across temperature ranges, and resist chemical cleaning solutions better. Both materials deliver professional streak-free results when maintained correctly.

Can I use window squeegees on shower screens?

Yes, window squeegees are excellent for daily shower screen maintenance. Using a squeegee after each shower prevents water marks, soap scum build-up and limescale deposits, keeping glass cleaner for longer and reducing the need for chemical cleaners.
