So, if you're wondering about the durability of the blade on the Amazon Basics Window Squeegee, it's a bit of a mixed bag. According to the manufacturer's description, this squeegee comes with a removable, non-slip handle for a comfy grip, which is more about the handle, sure, but having a good grip can actually help you avoid dropping it and wearing down the blade.

Speaking of the blade, our research shows that opinions are divided. Some folks love how well it leaves windows and mirrors streak-free, while others say it might wear down quicker if you're using it frequently or more harshly. It's kind of typical for squeegee blades to get a bit worn out over time, especially if they're always in contact with soap and water—something that's pretty standard for these tools.

One thing to watch out for is that the handle is made from open-cell foam, which could absorb moisture and potentially grow mold if left in damp spots like bathrooms. While this isn't directly about the blade, a moldy handle isn't ideal. Storing it somewhere dry helps keep everything cleaner and in good shape.

That said, most people find this squeegee does a good job for regular tasks. It's not industrial-strength, but for the usual home cleaning, it seems to hold up fine.

If you take care of it—like drying it off and keeping it away from constant moisture—you should get decent use out of it. So, overall, while it might not be the toughest blade out there, it's a budget-friendly and reliable choice for simple cleaning needs at home.
