😁 As we keep learning, we keep sharing... Here goes our findings on the
foremost tool needed for professional window cleaning- the squeegee... (and for
those who know it to be versatile beyond the norm, it also serves as a floor gathering
tool).
Historically, it is said that the usage of the squeegee dates as far back as the
Middle ages when fishermen used the Tshaped wooden swab called the "squilgee"
(close isn't?) to scrape off fish guts off their boat deck.
Fast forward to 1936, Ettore Steccone dubbed his invention of the modernised single-bladed
window cleaning squeegee, the New Deal. The squeegee - Tshaped in form with
either a long or short handle depending on use involves generally placing the
tool on already wet surface to wash then wipe off with its blade, and in other variants, foam padding allows for the dual function of lathering with soap then wiping.
Over the years, due to technological advancements, commercial squeegees have been developed for use on floors to even absorb liquids and push or direct water towards a predetermined spot or even drain. They are also widely used on windows and mirrors to clean-off solvents.
😁 Don't you just love the way cleaning comes with a variety of tools for effective and efficient detailed outcomes.

😁🙌 Did you know that... Early vacuum cleaners were massive and had to be drawn by horse from door to door! Imagine...?! But, in 1907, just within the second industrial revolution, it is said that James Spangler had the brilliant idea to combine the design of the carpet sweeper with the mechanics of a vacuum, creating the earliest known version of a portable vacuum cleaner. The vacuum has perhaps evolved most significantly, marked by the creation of the first cordless, handheld mini-vacuum cleaner by Black & Decker nearly 30 years ago! From further findings, we see that the vacuum cleaner's emergence into a household dust extracting must-have, can also be connected to many great minds cutting across Engineers to Janitors who saw possibilities and brought forward their innovative thoughts into what we see as the Vacuum cleaner today (surely still evolving in ways to give the consumer a valuable experience) Basically the vacuum cleaner (once known as simply sweeper and even
