😁 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.

Looking closely at fundamentals, we find that there are some generic and some tweaked to fit the innovativeness of the cleaning operator concerned. As a company, we have embraced the fundamentals of sweep, dust and mop as one of those that we use daily. Ofcourse we know that it may not be the case 0.09% of times within our operations yet it is more the case than not... Especially as we operate predominantly, for now, within the Tropics, when we get to a cleaning site, our cleaning operatives are encouraged to engage-always bearing in mind one of our essential fundamentals to sweep then dust then mop [99.99% of the times]. Ofcourse, we keep seeking ways to grow and improve upon our operations and so are to tweak fundamentals... As our Chief P. says, "where we are isn...
