The Spatula Squeegee for Small Windows

012009spatula01.jpgAsk any window cleaner what the secret to crystal clear windows are and they'll undoubtedly mention the importance of using a squeegee to remove water and cleaning solution. But sometimes there are windows that are too small for the average squeegee, like those on a cupboard, door windows or on appliances. If you've got a soft rubber spatula, you've got the solution right there in your house to get those windows as clean as your larger squeegee cleaned surfaces...

 
 

012009spatula02.jpgJust like using a normal squeegee, the secret to getting a perfectly cleaned glass surface is to actually start cleaning on a dry area and then move onto the wet section; if you start on a wet section, you'll create streaks rather than the super clean and dry results you're aiming for. A rubber bowl scraper works equally as well for even smaller glass surfaces. And remember to dry your spatula or scrapper with each stroke for best results.

You start on a dry area? I don't get it. What if you need to use cleaner on the entire surface?
