Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes industrial squeegees from residential ones?
Industrial and commercial squeegees are designed to withstand heavy-duty use and larger surface areas. They often feature more durable materials and larger designs to handle the demanding conditions of industrial and commercial environments.
How are commercial squeegees used in cleaning operations?
Commercial squeegees are essential tools in cleaning operations for effectively removing water, chemicals, and other liquids from flat surfaces. They are commonly used on windows, floors, and other smooth surfaces to prevent streaking and reduce drying time.
What materials are commercial squeegees typically made from?
Commercial squeegees are usually made from rubber or silicone blades with handles of metal or hard plastic. The materials are chosen for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion.
Are there different types of blades for commercial squeegees?
Yes, commercial squeegees come with various blade types, including straight, curved, and serrated, each designed for specific applications and surface contours. The choice of blade type can impact the effectiveness of liquid removal and surface drying.
What sizes do commercial squeegees come in?
Commercial squeegees can range in size from small hand-held models for windows and countertops to large floor squeegees up to several feet wide for industrial applications. The size needed typically depends on the task and the size of the area being cleaned.
How should commercial squeegees be stored?
To maintain their condition, store commercial squeegees in a dry environment and hang them off the ground to prevent the blade from becoming misshapen. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade the materials over time.
Can commercial squeegees be repaired or must they be replaced?
Many commercial squeegees are designed with replaceable blades, which allows for the blade to be replaced without having to discard the entire tool. This is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Handles and other components may also be replaceable depending on the model.
What are the best practices for using commercial squeegees to clean windows?
For cleaning windows with a squeegee, ensure the surface is well-lubricated with a cleaning solution to prevent dragging. Start from the top and make overlapping strokes, wiping the blade between passes to remove excess water and debris.
How often should commercial squeegee blades be replaced?
The frequency of replacement depends on the usage and the environment where the squeegee is used. Blades that are used daily or on rough surfaces may need to be replaced more frequently than those used less often or on smoother surfaces. Inspect blades regularly for signs of wear or damage.
Are there specific squeegees recommended for sanitary environments?
Yes, for sanitary environments such as food processing plants or hospitals, squeegees with antimicrobial technology and color-coded handles are recommended to help prevent cross-contamination and maintain hygiene standards.
