Stratus Building Solutions is a commercial cleaning franchise that has built its brand around "green cleaning" — eco-friendly products, LEED-compliant processes, and environmental responsibility. XIRI Facility Solutions is a managed facility services company focused on verified outcomes, compliance documentation, and multi-trade coordination. Stratus leads with product choice; XIRI leads with process verification.

Stratus has earned recognition for making eco-friendly cleaning a franchise selling point. Their Green Seal-certified products and LEED-focused processes appeal to environmentally conscious property managers. But here's what many facility managers discover: "green cleaning" is a product input choice, not a quality verification system. You can use the greenest products on the market and still have an inconsistent crew that skips bathrooms. XIRI's position: use whatever products your facility needs — green, conventional, or medical-grade — and verify the outcome of every shift.
Stratus franchise packages start as low as $4,000, making it one of the most accessible franchise opportunities in commercial cleaning. That accessibility is great for aspiring entrepreneurs, but it means your facility may be cleaned by someone who entered the industry weeks ago with minimal capital and limited experience. XIRI doesn't sell franchise territories — we recruit experienced cleaning contractors, run background checks, verify insurance, and put them through a 90-day probation period before they touch your building unsupervised.
Stratus has built a brand that resonates with property managers in LEED-certified buildings and environmentally conscious organizations. If your primary decision criterion is eco-friendly cleaning products and your building has green certification requirements, Stratus's standardized product line simplifies that conversation. Their franchise structure also provides local entrepreneurship opportunities in communities across the country.
For medical offices, dental practices, healthcare facilities, and multi-tenant commercial buildings, the question isn't what products you use — it's whether the work was done correctly, documented properly, and verified independently. XIRI's NFC verification, Night Manager audits, and automated compliance documentation address the gap that no product choice can fill: accountability.
Stratus is a solid choice for general commercial buildings prioritizing green certification and eco-friendly products. For facilities where verified shift completion, compliance documentation, and multi-trade facility management matter more than product branding — XIRI provides the process-level accountability that a franchise model can't guarantee.
Yes. XIRI uses whatever cleaning products your facility requires, including Green Seal-certified and LEED-compliant options. The difference is that we don't make product choice our primary selling point — we focus on verified outcomes regardless of product line.
Stratus's low franchise entry cost can result in competitive pricing for basic cleaning. However, comparing total facility management cost — including quality verification, compliance documentation, and multi-trade coordination — XIRI's managed model often delivers better value.
LEED certification has specific cleaning requirements around product chemistry. XIRI can meet those requirements with compliant products while also providing shift verification and compliance documentation. Request a scope review and we'll confirm product compatibility for your LEED requirements.
