A window squeegee The best-known of these tools is probably the hand-held window squeegee, used to remove the cleaning fluid or water from a glass surface. A soapy solution acts as a lubricant and breaks up the dirt, then the squeegee is used to draw the now water-borne dirt off the glass leaving a clean surface. Some squeegees are backed with a sponge which can soak up soapy water from a bucket for application to a dirty window. Squeegees were in use for cleaning windows by 1918 when an American book on navy jargon explained that a deck-cleaning tool called a squeegee was "used in civil life to clean windows".

Alternatively, the handle can be inside a glove-like enclosure to help keep the user's hands warm and dry when using the scraper.

In these works Getter reconstructs idealistic structures from Western art that emphasize the insufficiency of the human body, using squeegees of paint and mechanical drawing tools such as plumb lines. Her technique in painting tends to put together materials not usually combined. This collagist approach, which uses different and alien elements in the same work, characterized many of the artists in Getter's circle, Michal Na'aman, Yair Garbuz, and Raffi Lavie, who probably was the artist who inculcated this principle in his colleagues and pupils. Getter also studied literature at Tel Aviv University.

A squeegee used for screen printing In screen printing, a squeegee is used to spread ink evenly across the back of a stencil or silkscreen, making a clean image on the printed surface. Screen-printing squeegees usually have much thicker and less flexible blades than the window cleaning variety. A squeegee is also used in photography printing on fabric to dry the photographic paper after it is washed, preventing wrinkles or water spots. The earliest reference to a squeegee used for drying in photography is an 1878 description by chemist and photographer William Abney of squeezing excess water away.

Born in North Dakota in 1951, C. Michael Norton studied Fine Art at Humboldt State University and San Jose State University in California. After working first as a sculptor, Norton turned to painting as his predominant medium by the late 1980s. Given the artist’s education and background as a sculptor, his paintings are notable for the wide variety of tools, not including the traditional paintbrush, utilized in their production (for instance, mud knives, rollers and squeegees). Norton’s recent paintings often evolve from random markings collected by pieces of linen that are taped to the floor while other works are in progress, which are then intuitively built upon. He was awarded exhibition and residency grants from the Ministry of Culture, Paris, France, Commission d’orientation des arts plastique, Grenoble, France in 1984.

The Isle of Skye is famous for its foggy coastline, which often makes the light diffuse and shimmer. Boecker assimilates all these impulses and experiences in his works: "Was ich auf meinen Bildern male, sind Erinnerungen" (in English: "What I paint in my canvases are memories") However, not memories in the sense of landscape pictures, but memories that every artist carries with him unconsciously or consciously and that influence his art. The long duration of the creation of his artworks allows Arvid Boecker a kind of meditative approach. In the months until the completion of a work he can reflect extensively on the effects of the application of paint, he can put his piece away for a while and continue to work on another, he can constantly look at and work on the canvases with squeegees and spatulas until they reflect exactly the expression he wants to achieve.
