    What would be a good name for a home cleaning company?
    A nice name for a residential cleaning company that will go into commercial cleaning? Thank you

    A name that includes the word speedy or super or thorough or some such word to indicate good service.

    I was once VP of Sales for a large janitorial company that started small many years ago and never really thought of getting very big, however he did. He named the company with his first name and when he got larger this presented an image problem. His ego kept him from ever changing the name. I truly believe that even if he had only used his initials it would have been better. I always felt that it really kept us down when we went to bid those larger more significant jobs we were looked at a little funny and it hurt us.

    What I am saying is that even with my own cleaning company we chose a name after much consideration to things as the environment, fresh, resourcefulness, etc. Able to also handle other jobs that may be tied to our core, NOT just on thing.

    Think of going through the dictionary even as a source and pick something that you will be proud of today and... tomorrow.

    And grab a thesaurus for synonyms.

    A cleaning company needs to be bonded/insured. If you incorporate or do a LLC that would be a big help to add on at the end. People need to know that they can let total strangers into their homes and offices. Much more important than the name itself.

    And don't use a long name. I'd keep the entire name to 4 syllables max.
    There's nothing wrong with something sort of perky, like Sparkle Pros LLC. Too many names are boring and all sound alike, just to sound professional. Fruit and flower names sound 'fresh.' A name that people remember without the ad in front of them does wonders. Daisy, plum, pear, rose, Peach Blossom Cleaning sounds like spring cleaning. If you are just starting alone cleaning houses, you could have a commercial division with a different name when you incorporate. Sparkle Pro Partners LLC.

    Of the ones you listed above I would choose 'Pure Touch... ' the others seem aligned to residential cleaning.

    Naming a company is somewhat like naming your child. Choose a name that is unique but not too much so as to possibly cause a problem for the child as he/she grows into maturity and expands into the world.
