Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Place a window cleaning solution on your windows. A stream of Windex is typically used in conjunction with a squeegee. Spray the entire window before using the squeegee.

Step2

Slide the squeegee across the surface of the glass. The idea is to force the cleaning solution and dirt off of the glass. You should run over each section of the glass to completely clean the surface.

Step3

Tap the squeegee to remove excess water. To quickly and efficiently clean the windows, the squeegee should be tapped from time to time.

Step4

Clean up spills that occur with a squeegee. A squeegee can be used for more than just washing windows. If you spill a drink on the floor, a squeegee can clean up the mess. You need to have a floor squeegee blade for this job.

Step5

Wash the shower stall with a squeegee. Squeegees make quick work of cleaning the stall of your tub or shower.
