Title: Floor squeegee
Post by: jaykie on September 14, 2008, 06:49:46 pm
Can anyone recommend a good one as ive sealed another contract but there are lots of tiles on the floor outside the main doors and there are windows above this so its going to get very slippery so would like to shift the excess water.

It`s not the thickness you want it`s the width,if it`s smooth tiles it won`t damage the squeeggee just use an old blade.

I was a chef for 8 years and had to clean the floor ever night and can honestly say a window cleaning squeegie will not be the same not only that you wouldnt beable to push with a window squeegie but only pool, dont think id look to pro using a window squeegie, i can use it on other jobs in the future, it would be like people using floor brushes for wfp  ;D
