Troubleshooting
Squeegee leaves streaks
Ensure the blade is clean and free of debris. Check that the handle is weighted correctly and gliding smoothly. For best results, use with a cleaning solution and wipe the blade clean between passes.
Suction cup not holding
Clean both the suction cup and the surface it's being attached to with a damp cloth. Ensure the surface is smooth, dry, and non-porous. Re-apply the suction cup firmly.
Handle is stiff when folding
Gently ensure no debris is obstructing the folding mechanism. The mechanism is designed for a snug fit; apply steady pressure. If persistent, contact customer support.
