squeegeeing

Scraping glass clean

Squeegeeing is using a squeegee—a blade-edged tool for wiping liquid from surfaces.

Window washers squeegee glass to remove soapy water without streaks.

The word applies to any similar wiping motion: He was squeegeeing the shower door when the phone rang.

At intersections, squeegeeing windshields for tips is a minor hustle.
