DIY Squeegee Holder
I made a homemade squeegee holder for about $3 and thought I'd share with you how I did it. I found a dish drying rack at a thrift store and cut off one of the long sides (otherwise it would be too small for the squeegees). The handles then fit nicely into every other slot with the blades facing up. It's strong enough that it can be mounted on the wall at a slight angle. Anyway, it's an ultra-cheap way to keep your squeegees out of the way and keep them from getting damaged. Enjoy!

Re: DIY Squeegee Holder Here's a video of it:

It does have links to my site so I thought I better leave it out of my initial post in case it's too self-promotional (so I can delete if necessary). It's a tutorial, not a product for sale, so I don't think there is any harm in it.

Re: DIY Squeegee Holder very cool, I have one made with nails and is ugly as sin. I'll do this instead.

Michael, I noticed when you first posted that I did not see it so I went on to another post then when others commented on it that is when I went to your site and found it.
