Cleaning — FAQ
What's the best squeegee for shower doors?
The ALFLOD 2PACK stainless steel squeegee excels in showers. Its corrosion-resistant metal handle withstands daily humidity, while the 12-inch blade quickly clears tile and glass without streaks.
Can I use these squeegees for car window tinting?
Yes, but choose the right type. The Bewudy Micro Squeegee Set with curved edges and multiple hardness levels prevents bubbles and scratches during tint installation. Avoid large shower squeegees—they're too rigid for auto glass curves.
How often should I replace squeegee blades?
Replace rubber blades every 6-12 months with regular use, or when you notice streaking. Professional cleaners change blades monthly. Silicone blades last longer but may lose flexibility. Keep spare blades on hand for best results.
What’s the difference between silicone and rubber blades?
Rubber blades remove more water per swipe and deliver drier results on glass. Silicone blades are gentler, resist chemicals better, and work safely on delicate surfaces like tinted film or coated glass but may leave slight moisture.
Do I need a telescopic squeegee for home use?
If you have second-story windows or hard-to-reach skylights, a telescopic pole like the ITTAR kit eliminates dangerous ladder work. For ground-level showers and patio doors, a fixed-handle squeegee provides better control at lower cost.
How do I clean and maintain my squeegee?
Rinse blades with warm water after each use. Wipe metal parts dry to prevent rust. Store indoors away from UV light. Replace blades when edges fray or crack. Occasionally clean blades with mild soap to remove oil buildup that causes streaking.
