Homekeeping: The Invaluable Squeegee

Posted by

I have a housekeeping secret to share with you...

It all started with a gift I received from my friend Alexis upon moving into my current apartment.

We live in the same building which has floor to ceiling windows, so she thoughtfully gave me a squeegee window cleaning set. It came with a bucket, cleaning solution, and an extension rod that helped me clean the hard to reach upper reaches of the beautiful but challenging windows.

Soon  enough, I found that squeegees could be used for so much more than cleaning windows. They're great for floors, showers and to quickly wash off counters.

Here are a few of my favorite products that will help make your surfaces squeaky, squeegee clean...
