What is Bathroom Squeegee made of?Updated 10 days ago

TL;DR: Bathroom Squeegee has a silicone blade and a lightweight polyamide (PA) handle. Silicone stays flexible longer than rubber, resists wear, mould, and mildew, and won't scratch glass. Built to last several years with proper care, so fewer replacements end up in landfill. Not kerbside recyclable. Check TerraCycle or local drop-offs, or repurpose for windows, outdoor glass, or car cleaning.

What is Bathroom Squeegee made of?

Bathroom Squeegee has a silicone blade and hook, and a lightweight polyamide (PA) handle. Silicone stays flexible longer than rubber, gives a streak-free edge that won't harden or crack, resists mould and mildew, and won't scratch glass, tiles, or mirrors. The polyamide handle is lightweight yet strong and won't crack or degrade with regular use.

✓ Blade and hook

Silicone. Stays flexible longer than rubber, giving a streak-free edge that won't harden or crack. Mould and mildew-resistant, and non-scratching on glass, tiles, and mirrors. The 9mm soft-silicone hook is part of the same blade-and-hook moulding.

✓ Handle

Lightweight polyamide. Strong but easy to manoeuvre, so the tool stays light in the hand. Polyamide won't crack or degrade with regular use, and the loop on the handle gives a second hanging option alongside the silicone hook.

✓ Why silicone and polyamide?

Silicone and polyamide were chosen for the long-lasting, low-maintenance properties that suit a wet bathroom environment.

Can Bathroom Squeegee be recycled?

Not in most council kerbside programs, since silicone-and-polyamide products generally can't be processed there. Some specialty recyclers like TerraCycle accept silicone tools, so check Recycling Near You or local drop-off points. If no recycling is available, repurpose a retired squeegee for outdoor windows, garden-shed panes, or car windscreens before disposal. The long-lasting materials mean fewer replacements and less landfill over time.
