AI returns this response:
Wagtail rubber for window cleaning squeegees is generally considered soft rubber.
Why it's classified as soft rubber
-
Flexibility: Wagtail rubber bends easily and conforms well to the glass surface.
-
Better glide: Soft rubber moves smoothly across the glass, which is why many cleaners like it for fan techniques.
-
Performance in moderate temperatures: Soft rubber performs best in cool to mild weather, where it stays flexible.
Soft vs Hard Rubber (quick comparison)
| Type | Characteristics | Best Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Soft Rubber | Flexible, smoother glide, conforms to glass | Cool / moderate weather |
| Hard Rubber | Stiffer, holds edge longer | Hot weather |
Practical note
A lot of professional window cleaners prefer Wagtail rubber or Ettore soft rubber because it glides easier during fanning compared to harder rubbers like some Unger blades.
