Squeegees

Squeegees are high-performance maintenance tools designed to remove liquids from smooth surfaces, ensuring a clean, dry, and streak-free finish. Constructed with ergonomic handles and durable rubber or neoprene blades, these devices are essential for preventing water spots and maintaining hygiene standards across industrial and commercial environments.

At RS Australia, we supply a comprehensive range of professional-grade drying solutions. From a high-reach professional window squeegee for facility management to a heavy-duty floor squeegee for warehouse maintenance, our inventory is curated to meet the rigours of industrial cleaning.

Key Benefits & Uses of Squeegees

Selecting the right glass squeegee or floor tool offers several critical advantages for facility upkeep:

• Streak-free window cleaning: Removes detergents and water from glass surfaces without leaving lint or mineral deposits behind.
• Enhanced floor safety: Rapidly clears large spills or wash-water from walkways, significantly reducing slip-and-fall risks in high-traffic zones.
• Hygienic fluid management: Specifically designed to push liquids toward drains in food-grade environments, preventing bacterial growth in standing water.
• Efficiency in large areas: Utilising a large squeegee allows for faster drying of expansive surfaces compared to traditional mopping.

Types of Squeegee

Our squeegees are categorised by their design and intended application to help you find the most efficient tool for your task.

Professional Window Squeegees

A window squeegee is specifically designed for vertical glass surfaces. These tools feature high-quality, replaceable rubber blades that maintain consistent pressure across the glass to lift dirt and moisture simultaneously. For high-access areas, these can often be paired with telescopic poles to eliminate the need for ladders.

Floor Squeegees

A floor squeegee features a much wider blade and a reinforced long handle for heavy-duty use. These are used to move large volumes of water or waste liquids on tiled, concrete, or epoxy floors. They are essential in hospitals, military barracks, and supermarkets where floors require frequent, hygienic washdowns.

Industrial & Commercial Squeegees

An industrial squeegee often features specialised materials, such as FDA-approved rubber for food production or oil-resistant neoprene for mechanical workshops. This category also includes the bathroom squeegee – designed for daily moisture control in showers and wet rooms – and condensation squeegees equipped with scoops or hoses to drain moisture from overhead pipes and ceilings.

How to Choose the Right Squeegee for Your Needs

To ensure optimal performance, consider these factors before you select a commercial squeegee:

• Application type: Determine if you need a specialised window squeegee for glazing or a rugged floor squeegee for heavy waste removal.
• Blade material & width: Choose high-grade rubber for a glass squeegee to ensure flexibility. Select a large squeegee width (up to 900mm) for expansive floor areas to maximise efficiency.
• Handle ergonomics: For a professional window squeegee, look for lightweight handles or telescopic extensions. Industrial models may require stainless steel or reinforced fibreglass handles for durability.
• Environment: In high-use settings, a commercial squeegee with replaceable blades is more cost-effective than disposable units.
• Specialty needs: Ensure your industrial squeegee meets specific compliance standards, such as colour-coding for cross-contamination prevention in healthcare.

Common Industry Applications

Squeegees provide reliable moisture control across various professional sectors:

• Healthcare facilities: Hospitals utilise the floor squeegee to maintain sterile environments and manage liquid spills in operating rooms.
• Food service: Commercial kitchens rely on an industrial squeegee to clear wash-water and maintain floor safety near prep areas.
• Automotive industry: Dealerships and workshops use a professional window squeegee and glass squeegee for vehicle detailing and showroom maintenance.
• Hospitality: Hotels and restaurants employ a commercial squeegee for consistent bathroom and lobby maintenance.
• Residential services: Professional cleaners use high-end window squeegee kits to achieve streak-free glass results for clients.
• Warehousing: Factories utilise a large squeegee to efficiently dry floors after power-scrubbing or heavy rain ingress.
