Some time the logic on the forum is amazing.Its your channel its bent so some were the rubber is not touching the glass and leaving the soap on the glass.Buy a new channel and your problem will stop.A channel can easily be bent by dropping the squeegee. Now tell me this has never happened ?
(CIU logic eg, have you changed your shoes it could be them,or your mind lately or  shirt they are unrelated but that`s CIU logic for you. )

Haven't tried that. The squeegees are in my van all the time then I bring them into the property to clean the insides - would the temperature change make a difference? First window I tried in the hallway and the rubber  didn't touch it.

'Cos they're rubber. Hoses do it when it's cold, don't they?
I find Ettore the best. And soaping the window up well enough. Soap up the window and then give it a good rub with a sill cloth. It breaks down the dirt- more glide- and removes excess moisture.

I wasn't wearing any shoes  

Pretty certain it's not the channels - it happens with the larger wagtail I have and also the larger ss channel. Not so bad on shorter ss and small wagtail. Squeegees haven't been dropped and only get used about once a month.
Rubbers are new and have only been used for an hour or two at most on inside work.

The logic of some of the contributors is also very questionable too!!

If you don't understand the situation of the OP the just please refrain from offering your superior knowledge Smiffie!

I'm pretty sure the OP would know if his channel was bent or not- let alone every single one of them!

That's why you should have a tracker fitted.
