The principle of operation is the same as is with the window squeegee that the company is famed for: using quick strokes with a rubber blade across the surface being worked on, to remove the fluids and leave behind a streak free shine. Some of the units in category of floor squeegees from the brand include:
Ettore Wipe’ n Dry Floor Squeegee

Its wide range of applications makes it an economical choice, and you can get it with or without a handle.
This range has two more variations, with extra features for cleaning tasks that require them. These include:
Wipe ’n Dry - with Splash Guards

It can be used for brick, grouted tiles and other uneven surfaces, and is especially ideal for outdoor structures like patios and decks. You get to move the fluids and dry the surface in the same motion. The floor squeegee is available in 18” and 22” sizes.
Wipe ’n Dry - with Splash Guards and Brush

There are two variations of this squeegee, the straight and curved units. The straight-blade squeegee is great for working on the large open spaces to push the liquids, while the curved one comes in handy when you want to specifically control the direction of the fluids. Such as towards a drain. The straight unit also comes with a scraping edge that can be used when you want to clear substances like sludge and snow from the target area.

These are available in threaded or tapered types, and it is imperative that you get a unit that is compatible with the particular squeegee you’re using. The Ettore Utility poles are 60” long, giving you extended range and meaning that you won’t have to strain your back as you clear the fluid contents from the floor. In addition, the ergonomic grip of these units gives you firm control as you direct the water and other fluids off the area.
Working With The Floor Squeegee
The process is a breeze, and doesn’t require any special skills to comprehend. Simply use stroking motions to direct the fluids off the target area, towards the floor drain or building exit.
The first step will be to clean the floor. Here, prepare the cleaning solution, whether it’s lathering up the water with conventional detergents, or using a specially formulated floor cleaning solution that is suited for the particular installation. Apply the solution onto the floor, and give it a thorough wash. Tools like the standard washcloth, sponges or mops can be used here. The goal is to dislodge the dirt deposits. Next, rinse off the soapy residue with fresh water, a process where one would typically use a mop.
Now the floor squeegee can be used. The purpose here is to clear off the fluids, directing them off the area. Plan your method of approach. For instance, you can start out from the farthest section of the room, and work from edge-to-edge as you move the water towards the drain. Use broad and even strokes. You will be able to get rid of the fluids with these quick motions.
Once you’re done the floor squeegee, will have removed both the liquids and any remaining bits of residue on the surface. With quality units such as the range of floor squeegee from Ettore, you get to leave the floor with a streak-free shine
All that’s left is rinsing the squeegee – preferable in warm water, and allowing it to dry before its next usage.
