How do you ask your customers to prepare for window cleaning

What do you ask of your customers when they are expecting you? Make sure there is parking? Move furniture, knick knacks, curtains, blinds?

Put on the coffee I’ll have my eggs over easy …

Please have Snack’s for us around noon time, thank you

Please move any knick knacks off the window sills. I don’t want to break anything. Thank you so much!

I always ask them to remove anything attached to the window, hanging in front of the window or sitting on the sill. The only time I’ve had a window pane crack was from attempting to remove a decorative stained glass window that was hanging in front of the window to be cleaned. The corner of the stained glass window barely tapped a pane and cracked it. I had to come back the next day and replace it. Now I don’t remove any decorative or breakable items near the window.

I ask that anything in or near the window be moved. I will deal with the curtains and blinds. I ask for a clear path to the windows, but will help with LIGHT furniture moving. I’m not moving your davenport, and I’m not moving china hutches.
