What is Bathroom Squeegee made from and how do I recycle it?Updated 9 days ago

✓ Blade and hook

Silicone. Stays flexible longer than rubber, giving a streak-free edge that won't harden or crack. Mould and mildew-resistant, and non-scratching on glass, tiles, and mirrors. The 9mm soft-silicone hook is part of the same blade-and-hook moulding. The angle that gets the most out of it is in how to use it.

✓ Handle

Lightweight polyamide. Strong but easy to manoeuvre, so the tool stays light in the hand. Polyamide won't crack or degrade with regular use, and the loop on the handle gives a second hanging option alongside the silicone hook. Full measurements are in the size guide.

✓ Why silicone and polyamide?

Silicone and polyamide were chosen for the long-lasting, low-maintenance properties that suit a wet bathroom environment.

⚠ Not kerbside recyclable

Most kerbside collections can't process silicone-and-polyamide products. Some specialist recyclers such as TerraCycle accept silicone tools, so check your local council's recycling guidance and nearby drop-off points for options.

✓ Repurpose first

No recycling facilities nearby? Keep a retired squeegee for outdoor windows, garden-shed panes, or car windscreens. Get full use out of the materials before disposal.

✓ Built to minimise waste

Long-lasting silicone and polyamide outlive cheaper plastic alternatives, which means fewer replacements and less landfill over time. Paired with the care routine in how to clean and store it, one Bathroom Squeegee can serve for years.
