To dominate your floors with squeegee blades, you’ll just need to focus on the following five:
Material Matters: Rubber vs. Polyurethane squeegee blades
Squeegee blades come in two heavyweight contenders: natural rubber and polyurethane.
- Rubber blades (like our Premium Natural Rubber Blades) offer unmatched flexibility for uneven surfaces, ideal for warehouses with cracks or grooves.
- Polyurethane blades are the unyielding warriors against abrasive debris, lasting up to 5x longer in high-traffic areas.
Pro Tip: For corrosive environments, pair blades with chemical-resistant drain hoses to avoid premature wear.
Size & Angle: Precision is Power
A misfit blade is like a wrench in the gears. Measure your scrubber’s squeegee channel exactly—even a 1mm gap can leave streaks.
- Standard blades (15°-25° angle): Perfect for smooth concrete or epoxy floors.
- Aggressive blades (30°+ angle): Tackle stubborn grime on textured surfaces.
Did You Know? Incorrect angles strain motors, shortening the lifespan of your vacuum hose system.
Floor Type: Match or Mismatch?
- Sensitive surfaces (vinyl, marble): Soft rubber blades prevent scratches.
- Concrete/terrazzo: Reinforced polyurethane blades dominate heavy soil.
Check the Floor Care Institute’s guidelines for industry-approved pairings.
Maintenance: The Silent Blades Killer
Blades dull faster when neglected. Ruthlessly inspect for nicks weekly and rinse after shifts. Rotate blades every 3 months to distribute wear evenly.

Cost vs. Longevity: Don’t Fall for False Savings for your floor scrubber
Cheap blades = frequent replacements. Calculate cost-per-hour:
