Seasonal Cleaning

Few people would disagree that it’s important to be clean, and if you own a business, you probably don’t need much persuading. After all, if you run an enterprise that looks like a dump, you know very well that your customers (or soon-to-be ex-customers) will give you an earful.

But keeping your business clean is especially vital during the winter. We’re in the midst of flu season, and that’s nothing to sneeze over. In fact, the flu is said to cost the country 7 billion a year in sick days and productivity.

If you work somewhere that gets cold in the winter, it's not enough to take steps to winterize your home. You should also prepare your office for cold weather. If you are an office manager or facility manager, preparing the office for the arrival of winter can take some work. Here are some important steps to keep in mind so you can ensure your space is properly prepared.

Summertime brings several attractive perks; beach trips, amusement parks, music festivals and cookouts among them. There are some downsides, including extreme heat that sometimes produces deadly results. The dog days of summer are arriving, and Mother Nature’s bite can be as vicious as her bark!

Summer heat is cranking up. That’s bad news if you’re trying to cut costs via air conditioning use. It’s good news if you’ve had it with the pesky allergy season. Stratus Building Solutions, the nation’s leading green commercial cleaning franchise, was proud to be a powerful resource and ally for allergy sufferers this spring.

Fall and Winter months are notoriously spent indoors for most of us. During these months, Americans spend over 90% of our time inside. Besides the spread of the typical colds, flus and “Sick Building Syndrome” that can run rampant during this time, allergies can wreak havoc on our health, well-being and productivity.

Cold and Flu Season is here... What are you doing to keep your business healthy this year?

Summer has come and gone, and schools are now getting ready to welcome millions of students back to their facilities. But before they do, it's mandatory that schools including classrooms, bathrooms, gyms and hallways are clean and rid of harmful germs that may endanger the health of anyone that comes in contact with them.

Cooler weather is upon us and most of the US has had the heat on for a few weeks now. Along with spending more time warm and indoors with windows sealed, late November through December is a high travel time which exposes all of our customers and employees to new germs; which allows businesses and offices to become incubators for these pathogens to spread. Taking few key steps during the next few months can keep your business healthy and make sure you and your employees can remain productive in this already hectic time of the year!
