Why do I need a good window squeegee?
It’s late in the afternoon. You are hustling around your home getting it ready for guests coming to dinner. You glance at your glass patio door and notice it is covered with your three year olds finger prints and the dog’s nose painting artwork. Your frustrated with that blue cleaning stuff because it always seems to leave annoying highly visible smudges and streaks.
What to do? Buy a Clerét iDO Windows squeegee and scrubber.
Professional windows washers use squeegees instead of that highly promoted pretty blue solution because they do a much better job, get the task done faster and, are less costly. Need any more reasons to buy a Clerét?
The Clerét iDO Windows squeegees for cleaning windows and glass are the perfect choice for those who need a good squeegee to clean easy to reach windows, patio doors and mirrors.
The squeegees and scrubber may be purchased individually or packaged together in a convenient kit -
Why do I need a Shower Squeegee?
Isn't it ironic that when we need a bath/Shower we use one of the least sanitary areas in most homes... the shower or bath tub. This area is a haven for mildew and many other undesirable elements, unless it is cleaned after each bath. That's because as the water dries it "traps" human skin scales, body oils, hair, soap residue and dirt forming the "infamous," unsightly and unsanitary water spots on glass shower doors, tile, etc.
The quickest and best way to help reduce the accumulation of these materials is to use a Shower Squeegee immediately after showering before the water has a chance to dry. And, believe it or not, the procedure takes just seconds -
What makes Cleret so special?
Three Words … Design, Function and Quality.
Design. Most squeegees look like … well, something only a window cleaner would use. It’s not hard to see why the ugly, industrial looking squeegee has become the brunt of jokes and symbol unpleasant work tasks. No more! With a emphasis on contemporary design, Clerét is changing how people view and use squeegees.
Function. Unlike other companies that produce squeegees only to round out a product line, at Clerét inc USA, squeegees are our only business. Therefore, due care is taken to ensure that all of our squeegees provide outstanding performance. In addition, most are ergonomically designed to fit the hand better thus reducing strain on the wrist.
Quality. Only the finest materials are used in all of our squeegees.And last but not least, the media and various prestigious design organizations kind of think Clerét is special too. To read what they say, check out "Awards" in the section below.

Why do I need a Car Squeegee?
Ever wondered what causes those annoying swirls that you see on your freshly washed dark coloured vehicle?
As a vehicle gets dirty, very small particles of dirt, road grime, etc. collect on the vehicles paint.
Hard hand washing with a towel or chamois using a circular motion will grind these particles into the paint of a vehicle causing the spider web like scratches. Excessive hard hand drying with a towel or chamois can also cause scratches. A squeegee with soft wiping blades used to remove water from a freshly washed vehicle will not harm or scratch paint.The Clerét Auto Chamee squeegee and combination ice scraper/squeegee are recent additions to our line of squeegees. The Auto Chamee is designed to help save time drying a freshly washed vehicle. The Clerét Ice Scraper/Squeegee is two tools in one. Use it in the Winter to clear ice and the Summer to clear dew ... your choice!

Just The Facts, Please! .... A Testimonial From Al Hansen, Creator of Clerét
"It all started in 1986 when I let this big burly contractor talk me into putting clear glass shower doors in my brand new bath - BIG MISTAKE!
After bathing, there were all these unsightly water spots, puddles everywhere and then it started to mildew and turn green and stink. My bath looked horrible....it looked dirty all the time. I simply did not know what to do
Then one day it hit me....a squeegee....in the shower. A couple of quick swipes right after bathing and it was bye, bye ugly water spots and all that other grunge. But unfortunately, it was also hello UGLY squeegee in my dazzling new bath. The contraption gave my bath kind of that neo-janitorial look, I suppose.I got to thinking....hey, what's a guy like me doing with an ugly squeegee in my bath. I'm a little more hip and stylish that that. Why don't they make something that looks better? Well the cruel reality was that they didn't. I looked everywhere...nothing! Then it dawned on me, why not go to some trendy product designer and have them design something....you know, cool looking, ergonomical and stuff.
Well, the result of my work was the amazing, award winning Clerét squeegee which was selected as the best designed new Consumer Product by the Industrial Designers Society of America. Also, the next time you are at The Smithsonian, check it out, it's displayed in the Permanent Design Collection.... WOW! No other squeegee in the universe has been so honored.In the beginning, we made just fancy bath squeegees, but now we make squeegees for use on windows, mirrors, cars, boats, kitchen counters, horses...yes horses and would you believe, armadillos, just kidding.
Well, there you have it, the Clerét story. I still can't believe I left that cushy corporate job to make squeegees. It's been worth it, however! You know why? I get to read all those nice letters and e-mails from folks around the world who have discovered just how much fun squeeging can be....with a Clerét squeegee that is!"
