History

Dave Phillips is the owner and operator of J & J Cleaning. Named after his two daughters, he started the business in July of 1986 as a commercial janitorial service. He took over several contracts from his father-in-law's janitorial business and it grew from there. His daughters would often go to work with him (mostly to keep him company), starting out with a stick of gum as pay, eventually frozen yogurt and finally to an hourly wage. In 1998, Dave purchased his first truck mount carpet cleaning machine and operated it out of a trailer he built up from a Costco trailer bed. He had found what he was passionate about and from that time on, Dave began seeking ways to further his ability to clean carpets full time and soon outgrew the smaller machine. While still maintaining the janitorial contracts, Dave purchased a box van and began operating Juneau’s largest truck mount machine. In January 2003, J & J Cleaning purchased Jet Steam Carpet Cleaning and became J & J - Jet Steam. In 2005, Dave wanted to return to his original company name and it was changed back to J & J Cleaning. Over the years, the company has evolved to encompass more than just simple carpet cleaning. Dave has worked hard to further his education by becoming certified in water restoration, mold remediation, trauma / bio-hazard clean up and fire and smoke restoration. He is continually seeking the newest and best ways to clean Juneau’s homes and businesses.

Dave most recently hired his son-in-law, Aaron, as a certified carpet technician and his daughter, Jennifer, as an office manager. His wife, Debbie, is in charge of overall office administration as well as helping to care for their granddaughter. She travels often to visit their older daughter, Jamie, and 2 more granddaughters.
