floor squeege

[junkyardwarrior]

Living in the South, we often have days on end of rain this time of year. Well I work on off-road equipment and it is stored outside, so it comes into the shop soaking wet. You guys working on cars/trucks have the same issues I'm sure. The wet floors are very slick as you can imagine, polished concrete. With that said, we have a cheapie 30" floor squeege that does work but it takes a ton of down pressure; as if the rubber scraper is too stiff (and I believe it is). Is there a such thing as a decent squeegee that I should be looking at? Maybe silicone blade?

Mine is getting the same way....it actually works better now when I pull the water instead of push it.

I think the other day someone had a thread going about squeeges and someone posted one of these styles....

I think they said it was a Libman brand, which is pretty common to see at any hardware or big box store. Next time I get somewhere I am going to try to find one and see how it works out. I feel like it would work better than a regular rubber bladed type.

I often use compressed air to push water out the door of the garage.

Unger moss squeegee will do the job.

When I worked at a quick lube in 90's we had the best luck with the foam ones. We had epoxy coated floors and would squeegee after every car on rainy or snowy days.

Yes, foam.

I replaced my 20 year old rubber tipped floor squeegee with a silicon tipped version

Works great and remains flexible
