Etymology

The term 'squeegee' originates from the late 19th century and is derived from the English dialect word 'squeege', which means to squeeze. The tool itself was initially used in various trades, especially in glass and window cleaning, due to its effectiveness in removing water and liquid from surfaces. The action of squeegeeing became more prominent with the advancement of window washing techniques in urban settings, where maintaining cleanliness was crucial for aesthetics and hygiene. Over the years, the squeegee has evolved into a common cleaning implement, utilized not only for windows but also for a variety of flat surfaces, thanks to its efficient design.
