Window cleaning has prevailed ever since glass windows have been around and to add finesse to these windows the contribution of Ettore cleaning products have been quite remarkable. The history of this line of products can be dated back to the 1936 when the Italian immigrant named Ettore Steconne invented what is known as squeegee today.
He immigrated in 1921 to the US and consciously chose to be a window cleaner by profession. In a way, it can be said that he revolutionized the way window panes and glasses were to be cleaned. He is the father of window cleaning services and his far sight of window cleaning services has converted him into a successful brand today!
It is very interesting to know that the idea of squeegee originated from fishermen! That is correct it was back in the 20th century that fishermen used a heavy wooden handle with a wooden blade at the end to scrape off fish scales, blood and also used it to do away with stagnant deck water.
