    Dan Derbes

    Owner

    7 years

    After serving 20+ years in the US Navy and working in the defense contracting world, Dan pursued his passion for owning his own business and started AdvantaClean of Fairfax & Springfield. With his long term interest in home improvement, Dan wanted to help the Northern Virginia community by providing services to improve both the quality of life and the health & wellbeing of both commercial and residential properties. 

    On his rare off time, Dan is a long term participant in the BSA, enjoys exercising in many forms, and visits his two children and two granddaughters as often as possible!

    Dan is the owner of the company which involves going on estimates, maintaining business relationships, and holds the following certifications:

    MICRO: Mold Testing/Inspection & Mold Remediation
    IICRC: Water Damage Mitigation (WRT)
    NADCA: Air Duct Cleaning (ASCS)
    NRPP: Radon Testing & Radon Mitigation

    Anne Derbes

    Warehouse Manager

    6 years

    As co-owners of the company, Anne and Dan make a great team both at home and in business. Together they provide quality service to the community as well as opportunities for employment. As warehouse manager, Anne manages the inventory levels and assists with additional tasks for customer projects. 

    A family run company indeed, Anne especially enjoys work trips that Dan and daughter Samantha go on where she is needed to watch the granddaughters! Active as well in her local church where she sings in the choir, Anne's passion is her family, though her essence is made up of good tea and fine British humor. 

    Anne is also certified in:

    NRPP: Radon Testing

  • sam

    Samantha Myers

    Office Manager, Scheduling Wizard, Marketing Magician

    6 years

    As this is a family run business, it was only natural for Dan's daughter Samantha to join the team shortly after the company was started. With a background in social media marketing, Samantha was happy to switch gears from the corporate world to support the growing small business. While office work and marketing are primarily her focus, she also enjoys occasionally getting into the field to support the production team. 

    Holding the admittedly self-bestowed titles of Scheduling Wizard and Marketing Magician, the most coveted title of Mom takes up most of the rest of her time. Samantha also loves to ride horses, spend time with her family (in and outside of work), and travel.

    When not with AdvantaClean, Chris pursues his passion for massage therapy. He also enjoys rides on his Harley Davidson Sportster and lets loose as a drummer, playing in the band Dance for the Dying.

    Chris holds the following certifications:
