A Cleaner World Continues Assistance For Unemployed Area Workers

HIGH POINT, NC - A Cleaner World is extending the free dry cleaning offer to anyone who is currently unemployed and needs freshly cleaned and pressed clothes for a job interview. The program, originally set to end August 31, 2009, will now be extended to December 31, 2009.

For men, 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.

According to the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, North Carolina's unemployment rate hit 11% during the month of July. Only 7 states have unemployment figures higher than North Carolina. "We've always believed, and now even more so in times like these, that it is important to help your neighbor," said Chris Edwards, President of A Cleaner World. "First impressions are so important, especially in this competitive market. We hope that this service provides interviewees both encouragement and confidence as they seek out their next opportunity."

A Cleaner World was founded in High Point in 1969. Today the company operates 40 locations throughout North Carolina and Virginia. High Point is the home of A Cleaner World's corporate headquarters, and they employ approximately 425 people.
