What types of Complete Squeegees does Ettore sell?
Ettore takes pride in producing quality complete squeegees made from aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. The variation in materials offers benefits that window cleaning professionals appreciate for different scenarios:
- Aluminum Complete Squeegees: Aluminum is both lightweight and strong, delivering solid results during pole work. Heavier squeegees made of materials like brass can add extra weight, so for an all-day job or more demanding tasks like pole work, complete aluminum squeegees like the Ettore Complete Aluminum Squeegee are the preferred choice among professionals for maintaining stamina throughout the day.
- Brass Complete Squeegees: Extremely durable, window cleaners love Ettore brass complete squeegees for especially tough jobs. The Ettore Complete Master Brass Squeegee and the Ettore Complete Quick Release Brass with Rubber Grip Squeegee are revered for their strength and endurance on especially grimy jobs.
- Stainless Steel: Rust-resistant and durable, stainless steel squeegees made by Ettore are built to last. Their resilience is celebrated by window cleaners worldwide, making them ideal for both commercial and residential jobs. Despite their strength, they’re notably lightweight, making them great options for pole work as well. The Ettore Complete Stainless Steel Squeegee and the Ettore Complete Pro+ Super System Squeegee are highly popular squeegees that window cleaners come back to again and again for their great glide and ease of use. See why the stainless steel Ettore squeegees are considered a fan favorite!
What Size Ettore Complete Squeegee Should I Choose for What Job?
Ettore offers sizes ranging from 6 to 36 inches in length to clean windows on both commercial and residential properties.

Which size Ettore complete squeegee is right for the job you have in mind?:
- Squeegee sizes 6” - 12": Starting at just 6 inches in length, Ettore’s small complete squeegees are ideal for indoor and external residential windows, and are especially adept at detail work, getting in the tight corners of French frames and angled windows with ease! The Ettore Complete Quick Release Brass with Rubber Grip Squeegee ranges in size from 6 inches to 22 inches, so it can cover you for most general residential jobs!
- Squeegee sizes 14”- 22”: Bigger is better, especially when it comes to storefront or commercial windows.

How Often Should I Change the Rubber on a Complete Ettore Squeegee?
Changing the rubber on your Ettore Squeegee depends on a few factors, which include your workload, how frequently you use a specific squeegee, and even what the weather will be like where you work. Ideally, you always want razor-sharp edges on your rubber that glide across the window effortlessly. To better understand when it’s time to make a change, let’s break down these factors:
- Your workload: If you work with a high number of windows, such as those on commercial or storefront buildings, you’ll wear out your rubber faster. Residential homes, on the other hand, tend to have a lower number of windows with a smaller width of glass to clean, so your rubbers may last longer.
- Frequency of use: If you use a specific squeegee for every job, you’re going to naturally wear out the rubber much faster. If you use a specific squeegee for only specific jobs, then it will preserve the life of the rubber and won’t need as frequent a change.
- Weather: If it’s especially hot where you work, be sure you're working with a hard rubber, which is ideal for warm climates, such as the Ettore Soren Squeegee Rubber. Firm rubber maintains its stiffness in the heat, providing a clean glide across glass. In the cold temperatures, a soft rubber is more ideal. That said, working with the ideal rubber in extreme conditions, your rubber is likely to wear out faster. Be sure to check the blade frequently for signs of stress and change the rubber immediately at the first sign of damage.
- Obvious signs of wear: If there’s a nick in the rubber or if it’s leaving streaks across the glass, that’s a clear indication that it’s time to change out the rubber for a fresh blade.
While there’s no standard across the board for changing out Ettore rubbers, it’s still a good idea to change them frequently. Simply pay attention to your rubber. If your performance weakens, that’s generally your rubber trying to tell you it’s ready for a change. When it’s time, simply flip it over or just change it out completely and you’ll immediately notice the improvement in performance. That said, keep extra Ettore squeegee rubber on hand by purchasing rubber in 12 or 144 packs so that you’re never lacking!
Can I Use Ettore Complete Squeegees with Extension Poles?
Yes, you can use Ettore complete squeegees with extension poles. While Ettore complete squeegees pair perfectly with Ettore Extension Poles, some squeegees can even pair with other brands of poles. For a complete list of what complete squeegee works with what extension pole be sure to check the product description on your Ettore complete squeegee of choice or reach out to a product specialist for expert advice on compatibility.
How to Maintain your Ettore Complete Squeegee
Longevity of your Ettore complete squeegee depends on how you care for it. Follow these simple tips to keep your Ettore squeegee in top condition:
- Keep it clean while you work: During jobs, keep it clean by wiping down any excess muck or debris with a towel.
- Dry it off before storing: Dry it off completely before storing it away for the day. This keeps the material, whether brass, aluminum, or stainless steel, from premature damage.
- Don’t place on the ground: Avoid placing your complete squeegee on the ground or anywhere precarious between tasks. Instead, take care of your tools by making wise use of a Holster or BOAB.
- Regularly change rubber: Of course, be sure to regularly check and change out your rubber when necessary! This will keep the life of your squeegee going strong!
- Store securely: When you’re not actively using your Ettore complete squeegee, avoid tossing it in your vehicle haphazardly or storing it in the open air. This leaves it susceptible to weather or temperature damage. Instead, we suggest storing your complete squeegee in Ettore’s Super Bucket. This tough bucket was built to house squeegees during use and protect it from the elements when not in use!
