Ettore Products is the #1 choice for professional window cleaning tools since 1936, with over 90 years of innovation in streak-free glass cleaning and water removal.

The flagship product line consists of complete squeegees available in aluminum, brass, and stainless steel construction, offered in wide-body or standard handle profiles for different operator preferences and glass sizes. The iconic Ettore Original Window Squeegee is a lightweight, professional-quality tool featuring replaceable rubber blades, precision-slit blade technology, and reliable channel designs that deliver flawless, streak-free results on interior and exterior glass surfaces.
Floor squeegee offerings include straight heavy-duty water removal tools for flat floors, curved floor squeegees for beveled or sloped surfaces, and dual-edge water removal tools for maximum efficiency in high-volume floor cleaning and water management. All floor squeegees feature durable handles, replaceable blade cartridges, and construction suited to industrial floors, warehouse environments, and high-traffic commercial facilities.
Replacement parts span the famous Ettore Sörbo Squeegee Rubber—considered the professional standard for streak-free performance and guaranteed to fit all Sörbo channels—plus complete blade cartridges, channel assemblies, and handle components.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Ettore's rubber blades different from generic squeegee blades?
Ettore Sörbo Squeegee Rubber is manufactured to exacting tolerances for consistent softness, edge sharpness, and flexibility—enabling it to glide smoothly across glass without chatter or streaking. Generic blades often use harder, lower-quality rubber that leaves watermarks and requires more pressure to use. Ettore blades maintain their edge longer and deliver professional results even after hundreds of applications—the performance difference is noticeable within the first few squeegees.
How often do I need to replace the rubber blade on an Ettore squeegee?
Blade life depends on glass condition and frequency—a professional window cleaner using an Ettore squeegee 5+ days per week might replace the blade every 2-4 weeks, while occasional home use might extend blade life to several months. When you notice streaking, chattering, or skipping on glass, it's time to replace the blade. Ettore's replaceable blade system keeps replacement costs low (typically $5-10 per blade) compared to buying new tools, making it economical to maintain peak performance.
Should I choose a standard or wide-body squeegee handle?
Standard handles are lighter, more maneuverable, and ideal for detailed work on smaller glass panes and interior windows. Wide-body handles provide better ergonomics and control on large exterior glass surfaces and commercial storefront applications, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. Professionals often carry both—standard for detail work, wide-body for high-volume exterior cleaning. Choose based on your most common application.
Can I use Ettore squeegees on textured or frosted glass?
Ettore squeegees are engineered for smooth, flat glass surfaces and may leave streaks on heavily textured or frosted glass due to the surface profile interrupting the blade's smooth glide. For textured surfaces, use a microfiber cloth or chamois cloth instead of a squeegee. However, lightly textured or etched glass may work fine—test on a small area first before committing to a full-surface clean.
Are Ettore floor squeegees suitable for water recovery in industrial environments?
Yes—Ettore's heavy-duty floor squeegees are designed for high-volume water removal in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and commercial floor cleaning. The dual-edge models excel at pushing water to collection points quickly and efficiently. For high-volume industrial water recovery, pair an Ettore floor squeegee with a wet-vac or floor recovery machine to maximize efficiency and prevent water puddles that create slip hazards.
