Why use a bathroom squeegee?
If water is allowed to sit on shower walls or on the mirror, there is more chance of limescale build-up.
While limescale marks can be removed using specially designed household products, or solutions such as white vinegar, the ideal option is to prevent their appearance in the first place by using a bathroom squeegee.
