Under normal circumstances, most people would never consider having a disinfecting service completed at their office, business, or shop. Only when a notable shift in absences or production during a bad flu season affects a school or office is Stratus called upon to help and provide commercial disinfecting services.

Whether motivated by spring cleaning or concern over cold and flu season or coronavirus, people are focused more than ever on ways to disinfect everyday household objects.
If you want to keep your employees healthy and coming to work, you want to make sure your workplace uses green cleaning practices.
We probably don’t need to say why keeping your workplace free of germs, in this age of the Coronavirus and the flu. Plus, you probably don’t need much persuading that green cleaning is smart and necessary. You probably got the memo a long time ago, that the environment is important. Nobody wants dangerous chemicals seeping into the soil and eventually our waterways.

SALISBURY TWP., Pa. - Some companies are opting to have employees work from home while others ramp up cleaning procedures.
John Coleman, with Stratus Building Solutions, is having a hard time keeping up with inquiries.
The coronavirus is causing many to stay home and refrain from everyday duties. But for those who are still in the swing of things, it's important to do your part to stay healthy and germ-free.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — When it comes to fighting germs, Eddy Perez says a lot of companies are calling in the big guns.
Cleaning crews at offices across metro Detroit doing the same are putting in extra work to keep employees safe amid coronavirus concerns. Jeff Kelosky with Stratus Building Solutions says one time cleaning orders have quadrupled in the last few weeks.
"If you have a key card, the key that you have, those don't often get disinfected," he said. "And multiple people are touching those areas as well."
The continued spread of the flu and new coronavirus (COVID-19) further demonstrates the need for workspaces to be clean and healthy. Luckily, the act of cleaning and then disinfecting a surface dramatically reduces the chances of infection spreading.
“Businesses need to step up their efforts to make sure their workplaces are disinfected regularly and properly,” says Afshin Cangarlu, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions. “There are specific cleaning tools and methods and a right and wrong way to tackle disinfection that could make or break the health of employees.”
Whether it’s the new coronavirus, colds or the flu, ailments can spread quickly through places where many people share space: including your work.
“In offices, we have a lot of trouble spots; it’s going to be all touch points,” said Loye Belew, an operations manager for Stratus Building Solutions, which operates in Maryland.
In addition, Belew said every surface — from thermostats, to backs of chairs and boardroom tables — can harbor potentially harmful bacteria and viruses.
