Squeegee rubber is also essential when purchasing window cleaning supplies. Squeegee rubber comes in soft or hard variations. Hard rubber is generally better for warmer temperatures, while soft is more suited for mild to colder temperatures. Although, many people use their preferred brand year-round. Some brands also offer a medium blend rubber. Whatever you choose, remember to change out your squeegee rubber when you notice a decrease in performance or streaks. While there is no standard time for changing out your squeegee rubber, it is definitely good practice to change them often. Rubber will generally come in 12 packs or a full gross which is 144 pieces, but other buying options may be available as well.
We also carry a wide selection of window-cleaning towels for professionals. Our most popular selling option is huck towels. These Recycled Surgical Towels are 100% cotton and completely lint-free. We pre-sort through these hucks before we ship them out to you so there are no holes, frays, or blemishes. Window cleaners tend to like these because they are bigger and thicker at a great price. You will find towels ideal for detailing and polishing but also options for cleaning frames and absorbing excess water. If using an extension pole, you can drape your towel to the tip of your extension pole to reach higher spots.
