What would be the advantage? I dont think it would save much time, if any.

Thinking about going waterless next year should save time and money .... Next stage after that is to go windowless as well.  :D ;D

it seems like a bit of a dumb question to me(sorry bob!) ;D ;D ;D

i print invoices the night before ready for the next days work.i print worksheets for the day/week as well. "windows cleaned today" tickets courtesy of vistaprint.

i need these to run my business smoothly.i update laptop when i get home every evening.i opted not to get a pda for work as i find worksheets fine.

how will you notify customers you ve cleaned their windows if their out without a paper ticket/invoice? ??? ???

Have you tried using a marker pen? its simple, cheap and lasts for months.


Once you have finished each job simply use the marker pen to write across either the kitchen or lounge window.

YOUR WINDOWS WERE CLEANED TODAY! 

Use big letters so the neighbours can see, and as a bonus its free advertising

You could text / email customers.

Or you could reduce the size of your slips to say business card size.

Im going to be changing my 'your windows have been cleaned' slips to business card size from A6 because i am getting some of these just thrown away by customers kids / other halfs

It would be good if Pocket George could be on one of those hand helds the Council Car Park Attendents have....with a printer attachment.  Then when done...tap done and tap print invoice?
