KMOV-TV Reporter Notes that Stratus GreenClean Products and Services Are “Cleaner AND Healthier.”
CBS News affiliate KMOV-TV in St. Louis recently spotlighted Stratus Building Solutions in a special report on “green cleaning” that found the company’s line of eco-friendly Stratus GreenClean products “cleaner AND healthier” than traditional janitorial cleaning products.
President Pete Frese, with Bill Blair, Vice President-Master Development, and Robert Stapleton, St. Louis Regional Director, were interviewed for the report which focused on the Stratus GreenClean program for franchisors and customers of the St. Louis-based international company. Stratus GreenClean services use EPA-approved environmentally-safe products to help sustain healthier, more productive work places for the franchise firm’s growing number of janitorial clients.
Frese told KMOV Channel 4 Reporter Kristen Cornett that Stratus GreenClean products and services are especially designed to address concerns about environmental sustainability and eco-friendly commercial products, and they also help reduce carbon footprints. Stapleton demonstrated how Stratus GreenClean specialized equipment and the GreenClean line of eco-friendly chemicals generate cleaner, healthier results. With a bacterial meter, Blair showed how GreenClean hygienic cleaning processes really do achieve “ultra-clean or sterile” results.
Channel 4’s Cornett was impressed. “It’s about more than cleaning for appearance -- it’s about cleaning for health,” she concluded. To see KMOV-TV’s report on Stratus GreenClean products and services, click here.
Stratus Building Solutions is one of the first commercial cleaning service franchisors in the world to offer this advanced level of environmentally-friendly cleaning products and services, which are less harmful to the natural environment and result in safer, healthier work places for employees of clients,” notes CEO Dennis Jarrett.
Our mission has always been to establish a leadership position in the building services industry by providing eco-friendly services for our customers, employees and franchisees. Green is the centerpiece for all of our service offerings: cleaning, landscaping, pest control and energy audits,” Jarrett says.
Stratus GreenClean is now being implemented throughout our franchise system as an optimum, standard-setting service with products that help reduce pollution and waste, conserve environmental resources and, also, minimize global warming and ozone depletion -- it is proving very popular with our master franchisors and system-wide customers,” Frese says.
Blair adds, “Stratus Building Solutions franchisors and franchise employees are following regimented procedures for clients using our GreenClean service, which is a pro-active effort our company introduced in January 2008 to promote healthier work facilities and conserve natural resources.”
