Choosing the right DRYFT squeegee depends on your floor type and environment, we have 4 options available:

-
Linatex is made from 95% natural rubber, best for smooth, flat surfaces with texture less than 1mm. Offers the least drag, making the machine easy to manoeuvre - perfect for vinyl, laminate, polished concrete, and rubber flooring.
SKU 200-S06
-
Linatex is made from 95% natural rubber, this squeegee is designed for deep texture or heavy grout lines deeper than 1mm. The taller, more flexible design flexes into uneven surfaces for superior drying - ideal for slate, small ceramic tiles, and surfaces with wide grout lines. Note: May cause more drag on high-friction surfaces like vinyl.
SKU 200-S26
-
Primothane is made from polyurethane, built for greasy or oily environments such as commercial kitchens, fast food restaurants, and workshops. This squeegee delivers extended durability in harsh conditions where standard materials degrade.
SKU 200-S25

Primothane is made from polyurethane, built for greasy or oily environments such as commercial kitchens, fast food restaurants, and workshops. This squeegee delivers extended durability in harsh conditions where standard materials degrade.
SKU 200-S27
Effortless drying on smooth surfaces
The DRYFT Smooth Floor Squeegee is precision-engineered for maximum performance on smooth flooring with surface textures less than 1mm. Its design delivers ultra-low drag, ensuring seamless manoeuvrability - even on high-friction surfaces like vinyl, laminate, and rubber.
Smooth Floor Linatex SKU 200-S06
The Smooth Floor, Linatex Squeegee is ideal for the following floor types:
-
Sheet Vinyl Floors
-
LVT Vinyl Floors
-
Smooth Rubber Floors
-
Terrazzo
-
Ceramic Tiles
Other suitable floor types:
• Altro Safety floors • Marble floors • Laminate flooring • Polished concrete • Epoxy-coated floors • Sealed wood (where suitable) • Smooth stone or tile with minimal grout recess
Advanced drying for textured and grouted surfaces
The DRYFT Uneven Floor Squeegee is purpose-built to handle challenging surfaces with deep texture and heavy grout lines.
Designed for deep texture and grout
The 1.2mm taller design allows the squeegee to reach into surface irregularities greater than 1mm, ensuring thorough water recovery even on heavily textured floors.
Outstanding performance on uneven floors
Ideal for uneven ceramic tiles, slate, and small-format tiles with wide or deep grout lines. Whether it’s a rustic finish or a heavily grouted commercial tile layout, this squeegee handles it with ease.
Friction-matched flexibility
On low-friction surfaces like ceramic and stone, the squeegee glides with minimal resistance. On high-friction floors such as vinyl or rubber, increased drag may be experienced due to deeper contact - making this squeegee best suited for harder, smoother-feel materials with uneven profiles.

-
Small Ceramic Tiles
-
Slate and Natural Stone
-
Textured Ceramic Tiles
-
Textured Non-Slip Ceramic Tiles
-
Deep Grout Lines
-
Extensive Grout Lines
-
Washroom Areas
Other suitable floor types:
• Deep-textured ceramic tiles • Surfaces with wide or deep grout spacing • Uneven or irregular hard floor finishes

Common questions...
I have both smooth and uneven floors in my building - which squeegee
should I choose?
We recommend starting with the Linatex Uneven Floor Squeegee, as it delivers superior drying performance on textured and grouted surfaces while still providing effective results on smooth floors. However, on smoother, high-friction surfaces like vinyl or laminate, you may notice increased drag, which can make the machine slightly harder to manoeuvre.
If that becomes an issue, we suggest purchasing an additional complete squeegee assembly fitted with the Smooth Floor Squeegee. This setup allows you to easily swap between the two squeegees depending on the floor type, giving you the best of both worlds - optimal drying on uneven floors and effortless movement on smooth surfaces.
How do I tell the squeegees apart?
Our four squeegee options are easy to differentiate through colour and clear labelling as explained below:
By colour:
By flooring type:
Why has my Squeegee gone wavy?
This is due to grease or oil swelling your Linatex Squeegee.
If this happens, we recommend to start using Primothane Squeegees
which are specifically designed for oil and grease.
What is Aeroflex?
Aeroflex is a patented Squeegee design with unique flexible flaps built into the front squeegee. The special flap drops into grout lines, and seals off the water inlet. This reduces suction loss within the water channel and increases air flow from the sides of the squeegee to deliver superior drying performance, deep into texture and grout lines.
Important information: Do not cut off Aeroflex flaps - doing so will make the entire squeegee unusable.
When should I change my Squeegee?
Squeegees dry the floor best when they have a sharp edge as shown:
This sharp edge creates a high pressure point able to scrape the water from the surface into the central area where the vacuum can transport the fluid into the recovery tank. Once the squeegee starts to wear and the edge is rounding off - drying performance will reduce.
Each squeegee blade is double sided - just flip it over for a fresh edge. Once both sides have been used it is time to replace the squeegee blade for a new one.
How long will a Squeegee last?
This will depend on:
• What type of floor surface you are cleaning (Smooth floors your squeegees
will last longer, rough floors your squeegees will wear quicker)
• How many hours per week it is used
(the more it is used the quicker your squeegees will wear)
• The water level and chemicals you are using
(squeegees will last longer with more water)
As a rough guide: If you have smooth floor surfaces and you use the machine for 1 hour per day, we would expect 1 set of squeegee blades to last approximately 6 months - that’s 3 months for each side.
My Squeegee is leaving wet lines on the floor?
This is normally caused by debris or hair caught underneath the rear squeegee.
Lift the machine into the transport position and wipe the squeegee with a cloth, this normally needs doing multiple times throughout usage, especially if you
have not pre sweeped your floor before scrubbing.
Maintenance: It is important to wipe the squeegee clean after each use, and check the hose is clear to ensure top drying performance.
It is also important to keep the wheels clean and free from hair. If hair traps the wheel and stops them spinning, this can effect drying performance. Cut away any hair after each use.
Squeegee wheels can wear over time.
If the wheels wear in excess of 1mm in the total diameter this may start to effect drying performance. Squeegee wheels wear more quickly on rough surfaces.
The two central rear wheels should measure 40mm in diameter. If they measure 39mm or less - they should be replaced.
The outer wheels measure 22mm when new, if they measure 21mm or less - they should be replaced.
