SQUEEGEE Meaning and
Definition
-
A squeegee is a versatile tool typically consisting of a handle attached to a flat, flexible blade made of rubber or a similar material. Primarily used for cleaning and removing liquid from smooth surfaces, it is a common item found in many households, janitorial supplies, and automotive stores.
The squeegee's main purpose is to efficiently remove or spread water, cleaning solutions, or other fluids from various surfaces. It is often employed on windows, glass shower doors, vehicle windshields, and tile floors. The rubber blade's flexibility allows it to conform to the surface being cleaned, ensuring maximum contact and efficient fluid removal.
To use a squeegee, the blade is pressed against the surface with moderate pressure, then drawn across it in a consistent motion. This action collects the liquid and directs it to a collection point, preventing streaking or pooling. Consequently, using a squeegee can result in clear, streak-free surfaces with less effort and time compared to other cleaning methods, such as paper towels or cloths.
In addition to its cleaning function, the squeegee is also utilized in certain craft applications, such as screen printing or stencil art. The blade's edge is perfect for spreading ink or paint evenly over a stencil, ensuring precise and uniform design prints.
Ultimately, the squeegee's simplicity and effectiveness in fluid removal make it an essential tool for various cleaning tasks and artistic endeavors.
