The very first window Squeegee was invented by Wilbur Cornelius in 1883 in Indiana in the United States.

But the modern window squeegee that is widely used today was invented by Ettore Steccone in the year 1936 who was a window cleaner.

So window squeegees which are a wonderful invention have been in existence for many years.

The first ever squeegee that was invented in 1883 had two rubber blades which is a pretty similar form to modern style ones, and was specifically designed for use on floors and windows.

Squeegee gets it's name because of the meaning of pressing and squeezing.
