squeegees

Rubber-edged cleaners

Squeegees are tools with a rubber blade for wiping liquid from surfaces—typically a flat blade on a handle used to clean windows or spread ink across a silkscreen.

The verb means to wipe with such a tool: He squeegeed the shower door after every use.

At gas stations, squeegees sit in buckets of soapy water for cleaning windshields.
