The importance of squeegee rubber

May 17, 2023

Have you ever wondered how professional window cleaners get those crystal-clear streak-free windows? It's all about using the right tools and materials, like professional squeegee rubber. This high-quality rubber is specifically designed to remove the most demanding hard water stains and leave your windows looking spotless. Professional window cleaning services, like A+ Window Cleaning Services, understand the importance of using the best materials for optimal results. With professional squeegee rubber, you can say goodbye to streaks and hello to beautiful, sparkling windows. Trust us, your home or business will look its best with this top-notch tool from experienced window cleaners.


So what are the correct squeegee rubbers you should use, and how do you take care of them? When the weather is below 70 degrees, a softer rubber compound is needed for maximum efficiency. Over 70, like the Texas summers, we break out the hard rubbers. The softer rubber bends on the glass, leaving skip marks in the heat, while the harder compound maintains its integrity and leaves a streak-free finish.


Different types of rubber are available, flat or cut ends. If you have a regular squeegee flat, ended rubber is a great choice, but you must be aware of any nicks or cuts in the rubber as it will leave a streak on the glass. Check your rubber regularly. The blade needs to be kept free from hairs or dust. Wiping the blade after cleaning two or three windows is advised to keep it clean and allow you to have a more professional finish. You can flip the rubber over, but make sure it is free from nicks and or cuts before you begin.


The suitable compound and a clean cut free blade will ensure that you do not leave water on the glass and leave a streak-free finish with practice.
