HIGH POINT — A Cleaner World is offering free dry cleaning to anyone who is currently unemployed and needs freshly cleaned and pressed clothes for a job interview.

For me, A Cleaner World will clean a suit or blazer and slacks, plus two dress shirts per week, and for women, a suit and two shirts or blouses or two regular dresses per week. All a customer needs to provide to receive the free cleaning is a current statement from the Employment Security Commission. The free cleaning offer is effective immediately and will continue through Aug. 31.

With North Carolina’s unemployment rate approaching 10 percent in January, A Cleaner World, a local family-owned business, decided this was a great way to assist unemployed workers in the area.

“This is just our way of trying to help out our neighbors,” said Chris Edwards, president. “It’s our hope that this might relieve some of the stress on job seekers and their families and give them a better opportunity at finding another job.”
