Nothing beats a good hot shower. The only drawback is the time it takes to keep the shower clean and mould-free.
But there’s one very simple thing you can do after every shower that could make the job much easier. Better still, it takes only a few seconds, and the tool you need costs just $1.50 at Bunnings.

In a recent post shared on the BHG Facebook page, we asked people to share their favourite cleaning hack. One answer that kept popping up was to use a window squeegee.
“$2 window squeegee from Bunnings. I even do the shower walls and floors with it after having a shower,” one person wrote.
What is a window squeegee?
The All Set handheld window squeegee is one of those small buys that make a big difference in your home. It has a 24cm rubber blade, a soft-grip plastic handle and a built-in hanging hook for easy storage. It works on windows, shower screens and other glass surfaces.
What people are saying about this squeegee
Rated 4.5 stars from 42 reviews, customers consistently praise the squeegee’s value and ease of use, with most using it daily in the shower.
Reviewers highlight that it glides smoothly over glass, hangs up neatly and is surprisingly sturdy for the price. A small number of customers noted the rubber blade could be of better quality, and one reviewer found it ineffective on fogged mirrors, so it’s best suited to shower screens and windows rather than mirror condensation.
How to clean your shower with a squeegee
After each shower, run the squeegee from the top of the screen down to the bottom in one smooth stroke, overlapping each pass slightly so you don’t miss any water.
Work from one side to the other, then give the blade a quick wipe with a cloth between strokes to avoid dragging water back across the glass. Once you’re done, hang it up to dry, which is where that built-in hook comes in handy.
By removing moisture straight away, you’re cutting off the main thing mould needs to grow, making it one of the easiest preventative cleaning habits you can build.
Shower squeegee FAQs
A squeegee is one of the most effective tools for keeping shower glass clean. Used after each shower, it removes water before it can dry, leaving behind mineral deposits or soap scum.
Ideally, yes. It takes only about 30 seconds and prevents the buildup that makes deep cleaning so much harder. The less water left to dry on the glass, the less scrubbing you’ll need to do later.
Squeegee the water off first, then spritz with your shower cleaner and either wipe down or leave it to work. Spraying before just means you’re pushing product around with the squeegee rather than letting it do its job properly.
