The squeegee should be used on various flat surfaces to eliminate streaking and speed up the process of cleaning. Use a squeegee to clean the partitions, countertops, mirrors, and walls. The squeegees can be the standard rubber edge for almost all surfaces. Walls that are made up of tile should use a squeegee that is composed of a "soft foam or moss squeegee".
