Cleaning is rarely the part of the day anyone looks forward to. The Buddy Squeegee, from Umbra's much loved character series, makes a small argument for changing that. The handle is a little figure with outstretched arms, and once you have used it a few times it becomes oddly difficult to be irritated by the job. Underneath the charm sits a genuinely capable tool. The flexible silicone blade pulls water, fog and soap residue cleanly from glass, mirrors and tiles, leaving surfaces clear rather than streaked. The moulded body is built with anti-rust technology, so it holds its finish in a room that is wet twice a day. A waterproof adhesive strip is included, and it grips tile, glass, drywall and concrete without drilling and without damage when you take it down. Choose matte black for contrast against pale tile, or clean white to disappear quietly into a lighter scheme. Either finish sits comfortably in a minimalist bathroom, and both are enough fun to soften a family one. If you are working through a wider refresh, our bathroom collection gathers the pieces that make daily routines feel considered rather than chaotic. Buddy also keeps good company. The Buddy over door double hook and the Buddy doorstop set of two carry the same character design through the rest of the house, and the Flex adhesive corner bin mounts alongside it in the shower using the same no drill approach. Common questions Will the adhesive strip damage my tiles or paint?Umbra states the waterproof strip holds securely in wet conditions and lifts away without marking the surface underneath. It is rated for tile, glass, drywall and concrete. It will not hold on porous surfaces, so unsealed stone, unglazed tile and textured plaster are not suitable. Press it onto a clean, dry surface and leave it to bond before hanging Buddy. Does it work on textured or frosted glass?It works best on smooth surfaces. On heavily textured glass the blade cannot make full contact, so you will get a good result rather than a perfect one. Can I use it outside the bathroom?Yes. It is just as useful on kitchen splashbacks, interior windows and mirrors. One in the shower and a second near the vanity mirror is a sensible pairing. Which colour should I choose?Black holds its own against white tile and reads as a deliberate accent. White recedes into pale bathrooms. Same tool, two moods. How to use it Pull from top to bottom in overlapping strokes, finishing at the bottom edge of the glass Wipe the blade with your hand or a cloth between passes for the cleanest result Mount the adhesive strip inside the shower at shoulder height so it is genuinely in reach Keep a second one at the vanity mirror for post shower fog Why you will love it Flexible silicone blade lifts water, fog and soap scum without streaking Anti-rust construction, so it stays looking fresh in a wet bathroom rather than tired Installs in seconds with the included waterproof adhesive strip, no drilling required Available in matte black or clean white Compact enough to live in the shower without visual clutter A small piece of character in a room that rarely gets any Product details Materials: moulded polypropylene with a flexible silicone blade Finish: built-in anti-rust technology Dimensions: 26cm x 19cm x 4cm Weight: 0.24kg Colours: Black or White Included: non-damaging waterproof adhesive wall mount Adheres to: tile, glass, drywall and concrete.

It gift wraps small and it gets used, which is a rarer combination than it sounds. The short of it Buddy earns his place on the glass.
