Stratus Clean,
You lead the business. Your franchisees do the cleaning
Stratus Clean is one of North America’s leading commercial cleaning franchise brands. Founded in 2006 and formerly known as Stratus Building Solutions, the company has grown into the fourth-largest commercial cleaning franchise, with 97 master franchise regions and over 5,500 unit franchisees across the United States and Canada.
Commercial cleaning is an essential, recession-resistant service. Offices, medical facilities, schools, retail spaces and industrial sites all need reliable cleaning, whatever the economy is doing, and most of that work runs on recurring contracts. This gives Stratus Clean owners a steady, predictable revenue base.
What sets Stratus Clean apart is its two-tier model. Master franchisees don’t clean buildings. They lead a business in an exclusive territory: they sell commercial cleaning contracts, recruit and support local unit franchisees, and hand those contracts to them to service. The master franchisee’s role is leadership, strategy and growth, which makes it a natural fit for former executives, managers and seasoned business professionals. Master franchisees can earn from as many as nine revenue streams, including franchise fees, royalties, contract sales and supply sales.
The brand is built on integrity, operational excellence and environmentally responsible cleaning practices. Franchisees receive three weeks of pre-opening and on-site training, a dedicated onboarding coach, Stratus Clean’s own StratusConnect app, access to a national accounts program, and ongoing marketing and operations support. Stratus Clean is a regular on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, and 86% of its franchisees say they would make the same investment again.
Stratus Clean is actively expanding and is awarding new master franchise territories to entrepreneurs ready to build a business of their own in a growing, essential industry.


The commercial cleaning industry stands out as highly attractive due to its essential and recurring nature, independent of economic cycles. Every day, new buildings, businesses, and facilities, including schools, office buildings, shopping centers, and healthcare institutions, require professional cleaning services. This ensures a stable and recurring B2B revenue base, providing strong resilience even during periods of recession, inflation, or economic instability. The market is vast, estimated at approximately $100 billion per year, and remains highly fragmented, offering significant growth opportunities for structured franchise networks like the Stratus franchise. Additionally, the sector is less susceptible to digital or technological disruption, securing long-term relevance and profitability for franchisees. These factors make the commercial cleaning franchise sector an excellent choice for motivated candidates seeking stability and growth within a proven franchise model.
