Who this list is for
This checklist is made for window cleaners managing several small business stops in a single day. If you’re running a commercial route—not high-rise jobs—this covers the daily basics needed for efficiency and reliability.
How to use this list
Review the checklist each morning before leaving your base. Lay out equipment, confirm route details, and double-check communications. Keep essentials like customer contact numbers and site access instructions on hand; these help avoid delays and miscommunication on the job.
Common mistakes
Many forget to check the weather forecast, which can waste time if rain interrupts cleanings. Skipping parking notes or access instructions can also add stress and cause delays. Don’t assume every site is the same—review each stop’s details in advance. Missing spare blades for your scraper can slow you down if you hit stubborn debris.

Each item serves a purpose—nothing extra to carry, nothing missing when you need it.
Before you go
