Have you recently bought a window squeegee and wonder, if you can use it to clean something other than your windows? You’ll be surprised at all the things you can do with a squeegee. Sure, you can use it for cleaning your car or house windows, but it’s good for so much more. From carpets and upholstery to putting up wallpaper, you need a couple of squeegees around the house to help you deep clean everything.
9 Ways to Clean with a Squeegee
- Get pet hair off carpet and furniture with your squeegee. Seriously, folks, it works better than any vacuum I’ve tried for removing pet hair.
- It works like a charm on car upholstery, too. Just vacuum up the clumps of hair after you’re done!
- After you rinse your shower door (and after every shower), use a squeegee to get the water droplets off the door. (And learn even more tricks to clean your bathroom in 5 minutes a day.)
- Get tiled or laminated floors sparkling clean. Even better… let the kids do it for you! They’ll love playing with the soapy water and squeegee.
- Have you ever dropped a dish and made a huge mess with the food and broken glass? A squeegee can get all that mess right up.
- Install wallpaper quickly and efficiently. The squeegee helps smooth the wallpaper and remove air bubbles. Works great for contact paper, too. Okay, that’s not so much a cleaning tip as a handy one.
- Clean up spills on countertops in a flash. This trick is super effective for stainless steel countertops since water stains are highly visible on them, but it works well for tile, granite and other materials, too.
- Use a squeegee to deep clean your hardwood floors. It traps the dirt, making it easier to clean in crevices and cracks.
