Default Suggestion...close on a weekday.

Two things I never got...dry cleaners that closed on Sunday, and dry cleaners that stayed open all week. I'm too busy to make that run on a weekday and can't imagine anyone would be horribly upset by them closing on a Monday for example. Ask your customers and see if they would even care. Sundays however, are really convenient, especially if I can't make the time on a Saturday. The last dry cleaner I used for probably 7 years or more, I stopped using because of the hours. Limited hours on Saturday and closed Sunday. I got tired of tailoring my Saturday mornings to fetch dry cleaning.

Anyway, I'm sure you're open all 7, but just a thought...find your slowest weekday and close. It'll give you some time and you may find it doesn't affect your business much and your clients might not mind either. Hang in there!

Default damn....hopefully that means you're busy with lots of customers! I agree with RKA, one day a week..

...might not be a bad idea. Or hire a friend / family member to help out if you have someone dependable.

Mad props to anyone who has their own business and makes it work; I'm jealous.

Si. I work about 70 - 80 hours a week every week. I know it will pay off in the long run.

That sucks, but at least it's short term...hopefully you'll have the place tidy soon!
