Such a simple invention. Yet the great ones invariably are. A blade of rubber, a handle perfectly angled for its purpose. A patent followed, and professional window cleaning was forever changed.

The year was 1936. The man, Ettore Steccone. Often imitated, never duplicated, his original squeegee design has remained essentially unchanged since its inception. His secret was, and is, in the rubber.

With the same secrecy and security afforded soft drink formulas, the ingredients and formulation of Ettore rubber are carefully guarded. For this is the essential heart of the system - a razor sharp square edge, supple, smooth, consistent, which leaves glass perfectly clean and streak free.

Indeed, every Ettore product is 100% unconditionally guaranteed to deliver nothing less than flawless performance. Exacting quality control and hand inspection of literally every inch of rubber produced means that defects simply don't leave our factory. His pioneering spirit has assured Ettore's position as the undisputed industry leader.

Today the company provides every conceivable tool and convenience to make window cleaning more fun, efficient and effective.

This is an original "New Deal" Ettore Squeegee, built in 1937 and used continually by a window cleaner for more than 34 years. It sits on permanent display in the Ettore Historical Window Cleaning Collection.

Magnified blade edges demonstrate the dramatic difference between sharp-edge Ettore rubber and a competitor. It's what makes Ettore the clear choice.
