My sister had a cleaning service years ago and her business was called "Shiney Bright". AND if you choose the name I suggested, can my house be the first one you clean since I also live in Mo-Town...lol Best wishes on your business Robin!

The advice I give to all new business starters is to choose a catchy name using a beginning letter as close to the beginning of the alphabet as possible. Then, when people look up names in a phone book, etc., for services, yours will be one of the first one's listed.

Golden Girls?

Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

After being laid off and doing some soul searching I am about to embark on a house cleaning venture. The names I came up with were, "Your Dirty Little Secret Cleaning Service". or "Your Partner in Grime" Now I want to know which of these would you call or would either name grab you at all? Thanks for the feedback.

Clean and Simple and you could then use the initials C&S for short

I am starting a cleaning business, but I can't seem to find a suitable name for it. I am a hotel housekeeping supervisor and a simple person so I would like for the name to reflect who I am.

A girlfriend and I want to start a cleaning business here in Odessa, TX. Her name is Dezereaz and mine is Tamra. We are both in A.A. so our lives have tremendously changed over the past year. We thought about Serenity Cleaning, but are not sure. We are also two picky people on cleaning our own house. Can you help us pick a name and a slogan to match.

RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

Try a name that suggests clean rather than a "feeling good" name. You need something that pops and gives the customer what they are looking for. So if you were looking for a cleaner and you know how you like your house to look, what would you be looking for, and there is your answer. Write down all sorts of names and meanings for "clean" and twist them about a bit until you find something that feels right. Good luck with your business. How about "squeaky clean"? (09/18/2009)

RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

Congratulations on your sobriety and your new business venture. Fellow AA's are all around and tend to help each other out business-wise so I would make reference to AA somehow in the name without hitting non AA's over the head with it.
  • Higher Order Cleaning
  • Clean Living Home Cleaners
  • Keep It Simple Cleaning
  • Clean Life Clean Home
  • F.O.B. Cleaning Service
  • Medallion Cleaning Service

Or, nothing to do with AA.

  • Two Chicks and a Mop

Good luck to you. (09/21/2009)

I need an eye catching, unique name and slogan for my cleaning business. I am the sole owner and am very picky about my cleaning. I was thinking about using the name "Picky", but my mind is blocked for creative and catchy names. I don't like the word Maid. Would you call me for cleaning with the word Picky in my business name? Let me know what you think.

RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

No, I would not call you if you had the work "Picky" in your name. I would think you would judge my home. However, if you used "Meticulous", I would probably call you first. (04/21/2009)

Recommendations for names, don't make it too hard to pronounce. It would be too confusing for people to find and too confusing for older people to understand (no offense). Try something straight forward for what you are after.

RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

There is a TV show I want you to watch. It is called We Mean Business. It's on A&E television and here it's at 10 am on Saturday mornings. Bill Rancic, The Apprentice, visits failing companies to turn things around for them. I think you will find it invaluable. More important that name is honesty, hard work, work ethic, advertising, and word of mouth.

If it were my business, I'd consider having those thingys that hang on door knobs printed with the name of my business, phone number, and other info and hang them on door knobs of homes in the area where I wanted to work. Check first with your township or city hall to make sure that doesn't violate any laws. We have "no solicitation" here, but the door knob hangers are allowed and they don't cause littering like fliers might do. Best of luck. (03/29/2009)

By Carol in PA

RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

Be sure to have a logo. If you use the name Bubbles, I'd consider bubbles as my logo. Maybe alone with a mop or another cleaning implement. Have business cards printed using your name and phone number you want people to call. Pass them out liberally to everyone you meet and know. You can have them printed for free on the internet. Check postings at this site for those links. Good luck (03/29/2009)

By Carol in PA

RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

You can use Bubbles Cleaning if nobody else is using it. I register at "Registration of Fictitious Names" to keep other people from using my business names. If the name is already registered, you can't use it unless you make it slightly different, like using all capital letters or all lowercase letters. Good luck with your business. Wish it were here. I need a cleaner! (03/29/2009)

I think it's important for a business to have a name that's catchy, but not cutesy. It should sound professional and down to business. I'd try to decide on certain words that specify EXACTLY what it is you do.

I'm at a loss for ideas right now, but I'm thinking something like "We Do it All Cleaning"..?, but that's too many words. Clean Everything? Perhaps you can have a little subtitle that is more descriptive. Need Help? Clean it Up. Good luck (02/06/2009)

I'm starting my own small cleaning business, just me at first. I'm trying to come up with some good names to choose from. I don't want to use my initials or name, I think that's boring. Well here are some so far, let me know what you think.

  • Pleased to Clean
  • Clean to Please (instead of aim to please)
  • Clean Scene
  • Clean N Gleam
That's it so far. At first I really liked 'Pleased to Clean' kind of like "I'm pleased to clean your home". What about the slogan 'Cleaning Up the Mess for Less'? Thank you in advance.

I need some help on deciding a good name for a small cleaning business I am planning on starting. Let me know what you think. I have checked these for trademarks and they seem to be okay so far. I just need help deciding what to go with.

April Fresh Cleaning Service;
April's Fresh Cleaning Service;
April's Cleaning Service;
April's Cleaning Company;

I thought it would be good to keep my first name at the beginning for alphabetized advertising purposes, ie. phone book and such... or should I leave out my name and go with one of these?

Reflections Cleaning Company;
Perfectionism;
Deep Clean Cleaning Service;
Perfect Clean;

    I would avoid the two names that have "April Fresh" as part of the name. That is the name of a brand of douche that our drug store sells. If that is sold in your area, that could invite crank phone calls or vandalism on your vehicle if it has a sign on the side (kids and pranks...)

    I kind of notice that because my first name is also April. (04/16/2008)

    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

    how about

    "Dirt B Gone" or "We Mean To Clean" or "White Glove Cleaning" or and I think if you can have some type art work to match your name you pick would catch peoples eye on your car or your business cards. for instance have a white glove painted in between the words white and the word glove.

    A few helpful suggestions to save money on advertising would be to go to your local shops in your town that sell magnetic car signs. You can order then however you want in sizes you prefer and just place them on your drivers door of your vehicle they only cost about $50 or less. Those places are available on the web too for buying them. Also on your business cards.Simply make your own if your just starting out by using hard stock paper, and an art program cd bought at any walmart for $10 or less. by using the cd you can create business cards, fliers to hand out,etc. you can choose your own fonts add pictures or clip art to match your business name. and that way you only make 50 or less cards until you see if you need more.

    Those same business that sell the magnetic signs also sell you your own custom designed window decals you could advertise with. This site here will print almost any size you like. I always buy my car window decals here, some are quite large and pretty too. Its called stickergirl.com (11/02/2007)

    starting a cleaning business

    What sort of licenses do I need and how do I obtain them? If someone else has a business license for a cleaning business, she used to have. If she were to just say she ran the company would that be legal? Can you just use the same license again? If I kept the same name? I have a lot of questions. If someone could give me a website that has the information that would be wonderful. Please help I am 16 and have been on my own for about a year now. I used to work at a cleaning company but it was to far to commute. I like that type of work a lot, I have to keep busy. I am in the middle of getting emancipated which is why i really need to details about this type of license. because I am really excited about this opportunity and need to jump on it now. Me and boyfriend are ready to get our life started together, to ensure a bright future.

    I may be young but I know what i want from life and when I start something I finish it. GO BIG OR GO HOME. so please any info would be a help. (07/28/2007)

    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

    Ashley, Look up "Starting a business in ____" put in the blank, you state of residence. Different states have different business requirements. You may or may not need a business license in your state. You may also need bonding or insurance so if you cause any damage to someone's home, you are covered.

    It's hard for anyone to know whether an existing license would work for you or not because each states laws are different. Because you are under 18, it might be a good idea to have someone else own the business until you are old enough.

    The important thing is to start planning what you will need (tools, equipment, supplies) and start keeping track of everything that you spend on getting the business started.

    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

    I like the names Klean Sweep and Partners In Grime - it is myself and my best friend so the name Partners In Grime sounds good, I think. I even thought of another myself when I read the "Partners In Grime" name. Thanks for all your help - it has been a tremendous relief. Now to check and see if it has been used before or is in use.

    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

    One thing to keep in mind on choosing a name, your place in the yellow pages! Make it catchy, and on your business card, try to have a "slogan". I did a friend's business card (he started a painting business) and his company name was "Changing Colors" and the slogan was "quality with care". (03/28/2007)

    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business

    I was watching Oprah and the lady that came up with Spanks told the crowd that the reason she picked this name is that it had a strong "K" sound. Just like Coca Cola she used the "K" sound in her name. You may like to consider "Klean Klub" or " Klean 4 U". This lady researched and found businesses were more likely to be remember for that strong "K" sound. All the best, (03/28/2007)

    I'm wanting to start my own cleaning service but i'm not sure of the name I picked out for the business. I need help in picking out a better name or tell me if you think its a good name to use. The name is: "T & S Sparkling Cleaning Service". If you have better ideas, I would love to hear them.

    Thanks,

    By Marnita (Guest Post)
    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business 03/16/2006
    I think I'd leave off the initials "T" and "S" and just go with Sparkling Cleaning Service. I do think it would help customers if you added another word that might indicate the type of cleaning you do. Like Sparkling Clean Home. (You didn't say whether you did homes or businesses or both. Frankly, for all I know you may clean cars. lol) There's something about using the words "sparkling" and "cleaning" in the same sentence that doesnt seem right. Hopefully I've given enough for you to think about that you'll come up with your own name.

    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business 03/18/2006
    Just make sure the name you pick has not been trademarked. Be sure to trademark the name you pick so no one else can use it. If your name is not trademarked, someone can use it and you could end up paying them royalties.
    By WIsgal
    RE: Name Ideas for a Cleaning Business 03/22/2006
    I would drop the initials and use A or AA Sparkling Clean (Home or Business) Service, that way you would be listed first in the yellow pages and people will know what kind of cleaning you will do.

    Hi Ralph, Good luck with your new business. Have you thought about incorporating your name into the name of the biz? I do believe that licensing fees and such are less if you do so. I have some books on starting up a business like that since it was a thought at one time. Maybe check into that.

    All the best to you!
