Do shower squeegees work?
Shower squeegees are a really effective way of cleaning glass shower screens. If used regularly (we recommend you use them at the end of each shower), then they completely prevent the build-up of limescale and soap scum so that dirt isn’t allowed to accumulate and you don't need to spend precious time and elbow grease scrubbing them clean.
Depending on where you live, and how hard or soft the water in your area is, you may also need to use a shower spray to help get the best from your squeegee.
Is rubber or silicone better for a squeegee?
Both rubber and silicone are excellent for squeegee blades so this largely comes down to personal preference. However, more high-end squeegees usually have rubber blades that can be replaced, making them an economical choice if you use your squeegee for more than just keeping a shower screen clean.
How to choose a shower squeegee
The main considerations when choosing a shower squeegee are the width of the blade, the material used in the blade, whether the blade is replaceable and whether there’s a way of conveniently hanging the squeegee to keep it to hand whenever you need it.
As discussed above, the type of blade largely comes down to personal preference. If you plan to use your squeegee purely for keeping a shower screen clean then either rubber or silicone will work well. If you plan to use your squeegee in more heavy-duty settings like on outdoor windows then you may wish to invest in a larger, stronger squeegee with replaceable rubber blades.
A wider blade can cover more area of glass with each movement, so if you plan to use your squeegee on larger areas of glass then consider a larger width. If you just plan to use it in the shower then a small, compact squeegee may be enough, particularly if you don’t have much space in your bathroom.
