Product Information
Full details
This Wilko Flower Window Squeegee is designed for homeowners looking to achieve streak-free windows with a touch of personality. Its key benefit is effectively removing standing water from double-glazed windows, leaving surfaces spotless. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may be less versatile for very large or irregularly shaped glass surfaces compared to larger professional tools.

FAQs
What type of windows is this squeegee best for?
It is specifically designed for double-glazed windows and other smooth, flat glass surfaces.
Can I use this squeegee on mirrors?
Yes, it can be used on mirrors, provided they have a smooth, non-porous surface and are not heavily soiled with dried-on dirt.
How do I clean the squeegee blade?
Rinse the blade under running water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
Will this squeegee work on shower doors?
Yes, it is effective for removing water from shower doors, helping to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
Is the flower design just a sticker?
The product description indicates a flower pattern integrated into the design, suggesting it is part of the material or print, not a sticker.
What is the benefit of the soft grip handle?
The soft grip handle provides increased comfort and a more secure hold during use, reducing hand fatigue.
Can this be used for professional window cleaning?
While effective for domestic use, its size and design may be less efficient for large-scale professional window cleaning compared to specialized professional tools.
Troubleshooting
Squeegee leaves streaks.
Ensure the blade is clean and free from debris. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth and re-test. Overlap strokes slightly and maintain consistent pressure. Check that you are using it on a compatible surface.
Handle feels slippery.
The soft grip is designed for comfort. If it feels overly slippery, ensure your hands are dry before gripping. Avoid excessive force, which can sometimes lead to slippage.
Water still standing on the window.
You may need to adjust your technique. Ensure you are using overlapping strokes and applying even pressure. The squeegee is designed for light water removal; for heavy pooling, additional drying may be required.
