The sign in the window of First Professional Cleaners reads, "If you are unemployed and need an outfit clean for an interview, we will clean it for free."

Carlos Vasquez is the owner. He says, "I had a customer bring cookies and they show alot of apprecication and it makes me feel great."

Vasquez says he's had about four or five takers and people don't seem to be looking to take advantage.

Vasquez said, "You might find one or two that might be lying but, you know, so be it."

He says this is costing him money, but he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart.

First Professional Cleaners is located at 345 East 72nd Street. The phone number is 212-327-0625.
