squeegee
A squeegee is distinct from a sponge or a cloth because it does not absorb liquid; instead, it pushes the liquid across a surface to clear it. The primary goal of using a squeegee is to leave a surface completely dry and streak-free, which is why it is the standard tool for glass and mirrors.
In a domestic context, "squeegeeing" is most commonly associated with shower doors or tiles to prevent the buildup of mineral deposits and soap scum. In an urban context, the term can evoke the image of "squeegee men"—people who clean car windshields at traffic lights for tips.
When used as a verb, it is a functional, descriptive term. It is neither formal nor slang, but it is highly specific to the tool being used. If you are using a towel, you "wipe"; if you are using this specific rubber-bladed tool, you "squeegee."
