Abstract
A caddy for carrying window cleaning accessories such as squeegees. The caddy can hang from the waistbelt of a user. The caddy can include a lower reservoir portion hingedly connected to an upper sleeve portion by a hinge. The sleeve loosely engages the oversized brim of the reservoir to form a peripheral drainage gap between the outer surface of the sleeve and the reservoir brim to trap liquids dripping over the outer surface of the sleeve. A releasable lock allows the reservoir to disengage from the sleeve, swing about the hinge and drain the liquid contents of the reservoir.
