Abstract
A squeegee for the wiping down of curved or flat surfaces, the squeegee including a handle and a blade arrangement mounted substantially transversely to the handle. The blade arrangement preferably comprises a blade body including a pair of spaced apart blade members. The blade body is mounted to a resilient blade back which has a concave curvature along the length of the blade arrangement, i.e., substantially transverse to the handle, the blade back having a predetermined radius curvature of from about 200 to about 1000 millimeters. Each of the blade members is preferably comprised of a resilient material and is preferably disposed at an angle of from about 10.degree. to about 90.degree. to the surface to be wiped. The blade back may be flattened out so as to conform to the contour of the surface being wiped by application of relatively modest force to the handle.
