Whilst they are commonly found in a simple white design, there are some bright and colourful plastic squeegees out there, so they are a good option for those wanting something either plain and unassuming or something to match a particular decor scheme.
The low cost of producing plastic homewares means that you’ll be able to pick up a shower squeegee of this material for under £5, or a mid-range model for under £10, so it will be the most popular choice for those on a tighter budget.
Those with a preference for contemporary homewares will also be drawn to their smart looks, worthy of being put on display for all to see. Stainless steel or aluminium are the metals of choice because they are rust resistant, so be sure to pick one of these two materials.
They do run the risk of scratching delicate surfaces if you catch them at the wrong angle, so may not be ideal for renters or those wanting to additionally use their squeegee for the bathroom mirror. A good tip is to look for steel designs that have a wider blade than head, as there will be no sharp edges exposed.
Generally shorter handles (around 15cm) will give you better control, and longer handles (20cm or above) better reach. There’s also storage to think about: a compact or even handleless design will be much more unobtrusive in a smaller cubicle if you’re short on space. These measurements will often be listed as the overall length of the squeegee.
Either way, and whichever material the rest of the squeegee consists of, the handle itself should be easy to grip, ideally with padding and an ergonomic design for a comfortable hold. After all, there is going to be water involved so you’ll want something that won’t slip out of your hands mid-swipe.
The average squeegee blade, and about the widest you’ll find in a handheld design, is usually 25cm. Smaller models will measure around 14-16cm and are commonly marketed as mini squeegees. The blade width is the same as the squeegee width itself, so this is the measurement to search the description for.
Another newer blade material used is silicone, a more natural material that shares all the same positive points as rubber but is said to be stronger, less likely to split, and even more flexible, which may better suit those with curved shower doors or cubicles.
Squeegees with rubber suction pads are another option for those without available hooks as they can adhere to any glass or tiled surface, but they are known to lose their grip after some time, especially if you go for a lower end model.
The final option is a mounted squeegee, which will entail some basic DIY but will be more reliable than a suction pad. Keep an eye out for mounts that use adhesive no-screw stickers if you aren’t able to drill into your tiles or bathroom wall.
Whether you're in need of some order or want guests to see their reflection in your toilet bowl - although we don't know why they'd be looking that close, we have the goods for you. There's nothing worse than looking at a page of products that all look or claim to do the same thing, so we've taken the guesswork out and chosen the top 10 out for you. Take a look!
