Ettore soft as they glide over the windows much better than hard rubbers! Also with fairy liquid

I switched from soft to hard rubber about 18 months ago and prefer them.
I find they last a bit longer than soft, and it's a myth that hard rubber should only be used in warm temperatures.
I use them all year round.

Just binned some Unger soft I hate them just couldn't get on with them.
Even brand new they leave lines and the dirt gets trapped under the soft edge the hard seems to push the dirt away in front of the blade.

I also had terrible Unger rubbers,switched over to Moerman and then  more recently  I have been making bulk buys of " Professional Squeegees" rubber which is a good price at cleaningspot.co.uk
