The Legacy Behind the Blade: Why Ettore Replacement Rubber Is Still the Gold Standard

"Why does my squeegee leave streaks—even with a new blade?" or "What kind of rubber do the pros trust year after year?" These are the kinds of questions that point to the heart of professional window cleaning: the quality of the rubber.At Ettore, the answer has never changed. Since Ettore Steccone invented the original squeegee in 1936, we’ve been producing rubber using the exact same formula and manufacturing process he developed himself. That unwavering consistency is why Ettore rubber remains the benchmark for performance in the industry.

Why It Stands Out: Most squeegee performance issues can be traced back to low-quality rubber. Ettore’s rubber is precision-cut, natural, and cured for streak-free reliability in every pass. It’s what sets us apart—and it always has.

- Original Ettore formula from 1936

- Natural rubber, hand-inspected for consistency

- Works with all Ettore channels and handles

How to Use:

1. Remove old rubber from the squeegee channel

2. Slide in your new Ettore replacement rubber, ensuring the blade edge is even on both ends

3. Use with any Ettore squeegee and enjoy a smooth, streak-free result.

Pro Tip:  Keep a few replacement rubbers on hand and change them out regularly—especially after heavy use or exposure to heat. Clean rubber equals clean glass.

Final Word: In a world full of shortcuts, Ettore’s rubber remains a legacy of craftsmanship. It’s still made the way Ettore Steccone envisioned, and still trusted by window cleaning professionals around the world. Because when it comes to performance, nothing beats the original.
