For professional window cleaners, this item is not going to be a revelation or in any way remarkable. For those of us who still keep buying those cheap plastic ones that perish and break so easily, this squeegee is amazing. It stays in my car to help with the rear window (saloon, no wiper), mirrors, side windows, and the corners where the wipers don’t reach.
I wish I’d known these things existed years ago and I would never have bought all that landfill junk.
I have bought 2 of these as they clear glass really well and are robust. I bought the first about 2 years ago and used it for clearing/cleaning car side windows and house windows. The latest one I bought is for the shower screen.
Had it a long time now. Blade not working so well due to use. I did reverse blade and that kept it going for even more time. I think I can get a new blade when it finally goes. A Great Bu
This takes the hard work out of finishing windows after washing them. Only seconds to clean off water as opposed to using rags that smear and leave buff marks that become obvious when bright sun shines on the windows. Much better finish and less work. Saves me about an hour of work which can be better spent playing on my PS4!! Only quibble is that one edge of the blade is not completely flat, it’s a small defect but it does make removing water (in my case) where the right frame meets the glass, not so efficient. So I tend to sweep the entire blade from left edge to right edge and it does a pretty good job. Hence 4 stars.
After a couple of days practicing, you will be getting requests from your neighbours to clean their windows. So easy I can do the whole house in 30mins inside and out. Buy the smaller one for mirrors and shower doors, they make a great couple.
Description should be made clearer about size. I have been a commercial window cleaner for 30 years & never known a company to state the length of the Chanel inclusive of the blade 6”. It’s normally stated Chanel only length. So to all buyers out there the Chanel is only 5 1/2 inches. Cos not all shiners like having a long over hang either side.
If all you have used before was shop bought ones.. this takes it to another level. With a push of the clip you can slide the blade and frame out, clean it or turn it to use the second edge. Sturdy and steak free windows.
My bifold doors can now get a regular clean which has become necessary since getting a dog! See YouTube videos for how to use. Much quicker and easier and with better results than using window cleaning spray. It just takes a soapy window washer so get one of those too. I bought a 10″ squeegee and washer which is easy to handle and a good size for my doors but for larger bi-folds the 14 or 15″ may be better.
I just got this today and I am blown away with how good it is. I bought a squeegee from a pound shop a while back and it is absolutely awful, but this is fantastic for the price. I saw a lot of reviews saying that the handle was too small but in my opinion I thought it was fine and just the right size. If your looking for a great little squeegee for a low price, this is the one. At first it left some small lines on the window but later I realised that it was just my technique, i would highly recommend to watch a couple of YouTube videos before you get your squeegee just to learn about the best way to use it and get the most out of it.
I hope you find this review useful,

Cleaning the windows around the house has never been great with me, as I’ve tried a succession of cheaper blades and assorted sprays, and even a Karcher Window Vac, with the Vac working well but still leaving some steaks. However, I thought to go one better by buying a decent blade, which has proven to be surprisingly effective.
I settled for the 25cm (10″) version of the GBPro Window Wiper, which is a good compromise size for both the larger and smaller windows, allowing me to do the larger ones with relative ease while still being able to get at the smaller ones. I dare say I don’t have the best window cleaning technique, but even for an amateur the GBPro has been a success. I admit to helping the process by wiping along the edge of the blade as I’m using it, which seems to produce the best results, leaving the windows as streak-free as I’ve ever had them.
I know it’s just a window cleaning tool, but there’s a lot to like about it, as it has a good action, is strong, is stainless steel so won’t rust, has a blade that is double-sided and pliant for better cleaning and for keeping it softer for longer so as not to score the glass, has a spring action to allow the blade to easily slot into alternative positions, can be used with an extending telescopic pole should the need ever arise, comes in a range of sizes for different window types, can be used on tiles, has a rubber handle that allows for a sturdy grip and for gripping with wet hands, does a genuinely good job, and is reasonably priced. I probably can’t ask for any more than that. As such, it’s a purchase I’m very happy with.
I didn’t think I would be coming back into the house raving to my wife about a squeegee, but I did! If only she shared my enthusiasm 🙂
Past squeegees I’ve used were a lot cheaper, but as the saying goes buy cheap, buy twice/you get what you pay for. Cleaning the windows was a bit of an effort and led to mixed results as there was always a mark somewhere.
So I decided to go for something not inexpensive and give it a try. To be honest its not that much more than the cost of a window cleaner so pays for itself after a couple of uses.
Using a solution of washing up liquid and water, I used an Unger pad to clean the windows. Then to wiping the window. Oh god, this squeegee just glided across it, taking all the water with it! Literally took 4-5 side to side swipes (wiping the excess water off the squeegee in between) and a large window was clean, dry and absolutely spotless. It felt almost frictionless using it.
I had the windows done in no time, at least twice as quick as before, and with much better results.
In summary, completely happy with this, wish I’d bought it years ago!
Not because they break, but because I now have on in each car, as they are IDEAL for cleaning your windows before you drive off (which you all do, right?). OBVIOUSLY you can’t remove ice with this – it has a soft rubber blade, much like a windscreen wiper – so don’t try, but it will remove the moisture and is small enough to also clear wing mirrors in many cases.
It’s also good for fanlight windows, glass panels in doors, and other smaller glass panes around the house, the blade is replaceable and the handle will take a push-on extension pole if you need one (it’s a professional item after all).
Buy this and it’s bigger brother and take your glass-cleaning to a new level!
This is so far ahead of the rubberbladed things sold as shower-door cleaners etc. It is very easy to use, has a very short blade which is perfect for “cottage” windows like mine, and takes off far more water with each swipe than anything else I have used. I thought it was expensive but my last 2 or three mid-price ones have ended up with nicks or bends in the blade, making them much less effective. I use this for the glass splashbacks behind my sink and hob and it makes an awkward job twice as fast. Once the water is off, just a quick wipe with a smooth ecloth is enough to get a clear surface! The handle is very robust and comfortable (my hands fit a size L in washing up gloves) and although it’s stumpy it is long enough to hold securely and control the blade. Very impressive.
This squeegee is amazing. Regardless of how the windows were cleaned there were always swirls and marks. I now realise it’s nothing to do with the way you clean your windows, it’s simply having a decent rubber on the squeegee.
I have used a Karcher window solution and also soapy suds. Both work well but when the Karcher solution is finished I’ll be sticking to the soapy suds.
You don’t need to be an expert in how you handle the squeegee, you can simply start at the top of the glass and drag down to the bottom in one straight line.
I have a garden room on the rear of my house with huge glass doors and I’m delighted to say they are spotless.
I live in a new built appartment having glass doors, and bay windows. Cleaning those windows was providng to be a challenge, especially with the scratches on the glass that came about due to the cleaning. I used newspaper, microfibre cloth, various squeegee; but it was a complete waste of effort and loss of beauty of the glass due to scratches. So I was on lookout for a squeegee that had soft rubber which would not scratch the glass, and this was one of the products I shortlisted on amazon. While the reviews I read were positive, I wasn’t convinced that the product could be really that good. Anyway, I ordered one, and as they say ‘rest is history’. Cleaning the windows has become a breeze, there are no new scratches that I could notice, and windows are spotless.
How I cleaned my windows: I diluted fairy dishwashing liquid with water, dipped a soft cloth in it, wiped the wet cloth on the glass, and wiped the liquid with the squeege. Simple, fast, efficient. Windows are looking brand new, and I am a happy / satisfied user.
For a couple of years now, we’ve struggled to find an easy way to remove pet hair from our carpets. (Shiba Inus shed like no other dog !)
We’ve now got a selection of expensive hoovers and attachments and none work. I also found a range of pet hair removing plastic tools that do work but are really laborious to use and soon wear out.
The thought then struck me to use a window squeegee and they work but most either wear quickly or break due to their fragile construction.
I recently purchased a couple of these 15cm GBPro Stainless Steel Wipers. They are fantastic ! Really solid construction and they are so easy to use. The rubber blade is quite soft and I thought that it might wear but I’ve found that it doesn’t require much pressure to pull the hairs out of the carpet. The quantity of hair that is extracted has proven to be shocking – suffice to say that on one carpet we got enough to fill a bag … maybe it could be spun into a jumper !
I seldom can be bothered to spend time giving positive feedback — you buy a product, it arrives and does what it says — so why bother ? But this product is so surprisingly good that I had to comment.
Needed to replace an old squeegee that was falling apart. After reading various reviews of different makes I plumped for this one. It is exactly as described. Blades vary in quality from make to make but this one is excellent. The quick release mechanism is nifty but I imagine will only get used once in a while. It is of course JUST a rubber strip in a holder (hence I like it, not love it) but you get what you pay for most of the time and this is typical. Good quality, works very well giving good streak free results – recommend HG window cleaner fluid for brilliant clean windows. Seller was amazing – really. Ordered middle of one day, got it early morning the next.
Having just bought a long reach window cleaning pole -see my other reviews – I wanted a good squeegee to supplement this. I found quite a selection of products available with different price brackets. I have always found that, in most cases, the quality of the product is remembered long after the price is forgotten so I went for one in the upper price range.
I should also add that I have used very cheap products that worked really well but, in general, paying that little extra at the time is well worth it for something you expect to use for a long time.
I read all the reviews on the available products and opted for this one. I was impressed when one lady wrote a review detailing some problems with the product and then added later that a man from the company had contacted her and explained what her problem was and how to fix it. A simple case of “If all else fails, read the instructions”. I like companies that go that little bit extra to sort things out.
The unit arrived the next day and impressed right away with its general weight and robust feel. I like the fact that the squeegee rubber can be moved easily left or right to suit different situations. It does its job very well and, even attached to the afore mentioned pole, was easy to use and left excellent results.
I expect to use this for a long time and, due to its reversible blade, am sure that I will do so. A 100% good buy.
I bought this with the matching micro tiger sleeve and the 10inch GBPro window squeegee all 3 cost under 21. Extremely happy with all. To test it fully I used only warm tap water. My windows were not too bad as I had done them a couple of weeks ago. Outdoors very easy, up and down motion with the micro tiger then just stroke the squeegee over, no pressure needed, would be good for people with dexterity problems or weaker hands I would think. No water going up sleeves, and No streaks! Just some bits I missed round the edges but hardly noticeable, and next time I will wipe them with a bit of kitchen towel as I go. Like another reviewer said it looks like the windows are not there. I also used it indoors and just squeezed as much water as possible from the micro tiger sleeve then used as normal, you do get a small amount of water in the corner when you squeegee off but only about a teaspoon to a dessert spoonful, easily wiped with a cloth or kitchen roll. This beats my previous method of famous spray cleaner and reams of kitchen towel hands down, no rubbing round in circles with aching arms afterwards. Very pleased and wish I had found this years ago. I have four bay windows made of panes about a foot wide and the patio doors are similar size , this was the perfect size for me. This is the best method I have ever used and failing taking a window cleaning course I don’t think it can be beaten.
I bought this little squeegee quite a few months ago but only got round to using it this morning. Why did I wait so long!!! It is amazing and has totally transformed my windows. The sun has just been shining through my large lounge window and it looks as though the window was actually open! Not a smear in sight and for so little effort. I googled first, what to put in your washing water (I know this says you can use with just water but my windows were quite dirty!) and a window cleaner advised using half a teaspoon of washing up liquid in a bucket of warm/hot water (others had said use cold). He then said to wipe over the entire window with a cloth or sponge soaked in this solution but to wring the cloth or sponge out well first. After this he said to move the squeegee horizontally across the top of the window and then wipe the squeegee on an old towel. After this he said to place the squeegee at the top of the window and pull all the way down, wipe on the towel and repeat across the window. He then said, if there were any bits where there were still little marks showing, to just rub at these with a micro-fibre cloth. It was so, so easy, even though I have arthritis in my hands and wrists. Just can’t stop looking at them!!
I’ve give 4 stars instead of 5 because as another reviewer mentioned, it could do with a hole in the handle to be able to hang it up. Also the handle could do with being a bit more ergonomic. That said – its very good at cleaning windows. I just use slightly soapy water to wash the dirt off the window and then use the squeegee to remove the water from the window. I wipe the squeegee on a dry cloth between windows.
Okay so (being an amateur) I sometimes get an odd streak but its a lot easier/quicker to clean the windows and I used to get smears all the time using spray and a cloth! The finish is a good 10x better and 10x quicker and much less strenuous.
We wanted this squeegee for our shower, where we already had a cheap – but good – squeegees for a shower screen. We recently installed a full length shower stall and found we needed a better squeegee. This item seemed to fit the bill and, indeed, when it arrived I was pleased with the way it looked.
The squeegee has been used for some time now, though we did stop using it for a while and have used two alternatives. However, we are back to it as it is far superior. In fact, on the glass and tiles it was good, but what we found at ceiling level (when cleaning the tiles) the black rubber blade left a black residue along the join edge of tile/ceiling. At first we thought it was mould, but luckily (though annoyingly) it was just residue from the blade. Now and then it also left minor blemishes on the (resin/plastic) floor of the shower, as we squeegeed off any excess water, but these were easily cleaned.
The squeegee is prone to leave a thin water trail from the blade edge on the glass. Again, not a major problem. In use I found it easy to use and in particular had no problem manipulating it to clear the lower portions (at foot level) of glass/tile without wrist discomfort.
The squeegee has no hole in the handle for hanging, so I had used some string through the handle body linked to a keyring! Doomed to failure! And what a noise if it fell…!
As I mentioned, we stopped using the squeegee for a while and have now come back to it. We used a simple, German squeegee we bought at Homebase for a time and this cleared excess water efficiently. The blade was set in a holder that meant you could slide it along the handle, but over time this just became looser. We also tried a Good Grips squeegee, which we ditched after day 1. So, back with the GB Pro we are pleased and clean the wall at ceiling height slighly differently now to reduce the chance of marking.
I have just submitted a review for this product and feel that I need to update that review. I found the product really good and it leaves the windows completely smear free and cleaning them is so much easier but i made a comment that the rubber blade slid from side to side occasionally when I was using it. Within minutes of submitting this review a very lovely gentleman from the company called me and explained that the rubber blade is held in place with a clip and the ‘teeth’ in the clip may have just popped out of the holes that hold the blade in place. I immediately undid the spring clip and re aligned the teeth, this solved the problem immediately (maybe I should have looked closer to see if I could have resolved the problem but this is the first time I’ve bought a professional window squeegee so was not used to the fact that you can take them apart – whoops).
Would like to say a big thank you to the company for being so prompt in their reply and to the gentleman I spoke to who was extremely helpful in explaining how to rectify the problem 🙂 Thank you x
I think I have tried all the squeegees on the market and this is definitely the best. I can’t comment on durability as I have only had it a short while but it cleans all my large glass shower panels in no time with no streaks…at last!The longer blade length means that the job is done in half the time so even my husband is willing to use it…always a bonus!
Other makes I have tried either wear out incredibly quickly or are so small that it takes forever. The previous one I bought was very critical about exactly what angle it was held at; get it wrong and it a) didnt clean properly and b) made a horrendous squeaking noise to accompany the task. I have already placed a replacement blade for the GB Pro GB Pro Window (Squeegee) Stainless Steel Wiper with blade 25cm (10″) in my shopping basket so I think the availability of replacement blades will mean I have solved the problem forever…hopefully.
This window squeegee is so good, it makes me want to be a window cleaner. This is by far the best window squeegee I have ever used. Cleaning most of the windows in the house was a breeze. In fact I have a glass dining table and use it to clean that. It cleans better than any cloth on glass and you only need to wipe the excess moisture off on a dry cloth. What struck me about it was its flexible, soft blade. When I have brought squeegees in the past ther are always rock hard and inflexible, therefore not cleaning as well as it should. By all means one may need to practise their window cleaning skills but once you master it watch your windows and glass gleam. May also be worth purchasing a smaller blade for things like your shower, but the 35cm one is great for large windows. I will purchase the smaller one for my shower soon…………
For professional window cleaners, this item is not going to be a revelation or in any way remarkable. For those of us who still keep buying those cheap plastic ones that perish and break so easily, this squeegee is amazing. It stays in my car to help with the rear window (saloon, no wiper), mirrors, side windows, and the corners where the wipers don’t reach.
