Company Profile

For more than 20 years, Cleanfax has provided cleaning and disaster restoration professionals with information designed to help them manage and grow their businesses. Our approach is balanced editorial content focused on business management and technical know-how, both of which are essential for increasing efficiency and profits.

Readers of Cleanfax are small business owners, presidents, managers and technicians who provide cleaning (carpet, upholstery, tile and grout, HVAC ducts) and restoration (smoke and fire cleanup, water damage, mold remediation) services. Each month, Cleanfax magazine reaches more than 25,000 subscribers and cleanfax.com attracts more than 25,000 unique visitors.

Cleanfax's practical perspective is due in large part to senior editor Jeff Cross, an experienced industry professional. Jeff is an IICRC-approved instructor who trains thousands of cleaners each year, and he is the past owner of a successful carpet cleaning and restoration company. This combination of experience and insight keeps Cleanfax in step with the challenges that industry professionals face on a daily basis.
