One less thing for job-seekers to worry about – staying presentable for interviews.

Flair Cleaners is extending its freebie offer to clean and press up to four pieces of business attire through Dec. 30.

Customers can present a photo ID and an unemployment stub from the Employment Development Department at any of the five locations -- in Valencia, Burbank, Studio City, Santa Monica and Redondo Beach -- to take advantage of the service.

Launched on June 3, the Back to Work Wednesdays program was initially scheduled to end Sept. 2. But when some customers approached owner Gary Futterman about an extension, he decided to continue the offer.

The cleaners will accept one jacket, one skirt or pair of pants, and up to two shirts or blouses.
