DAYTON — One area business is offering a new service for job seekers who need a little help freshening up their look.

The owner of Fox Cleaners, Will Drook, wanted to help reduce some of the stress a job interview comes with by offering cleaning services for free.

Drook learned how important it was to serve others during his time in the Marine Corps.

“If someone is out of work, they need a job, they have a suit or that special thing that they want to wear, we’ll clean it for free. Just come in and say that I’m here to get my free cleaning for an interview no questions asked,” Drook said

“As a veteran you know a little about giving service to others and thats what we wanna do we want to serve others in our business and this is one way we can do that,” Drook said

Fox Cleaners offers many services, such as dry cleaning, laundry pickup, shirt and pant pressing, alterations, and more.

Kay Jones, who has been pressing pants at Fox Cleaners for over 18 years, loves her job and is always happy to help the community.

“I feel that if somebody really wants a job and they dont have nothing to wear no money to get it done…you can bring them to Fox Cleaners and we’ll clean them, press them, give them back to them for that interview looking good,” Jones said.

There is no expiration date on this new service, Drook says, “We want to be in that business of helping people feel better and giving them confidence.”
