Clean & Simple: 8 Carpet Cleaning Business Name Ideas

First impressions are important – and your carpet cleaning company name is often the first thing that people know about you. This makes choosing a name a very important part of setting up a cleaning business. Here are some carpet cleaning name ideas to get you started.

1. Tell them how skilled you are

Including a positive description in your name can tell potential customers that you're all about high-quality work. For example, Toogood Cleaning and Absolutely Brilliant Carpet Cleaning immediately sound like excellent services. You could also use something that denotes good quality, like 5 Star Floor Care or Carpet Miracles.

2. Have fun with cleaning puns

Business names don't have to be serious – everyone loves a good giggle! A well-thought-out play on words can bring a smile to people's faces and can be very memorable. Examples include Grime Scene Cleaning Services, Captain Rug Wash and Wat-er Result! Cleaning Services.

3. Tell them where to find you

Including your area of operation can make you easier to find. Area-based carpet cleaning business name ideas include Carmarthenshire Cleaning and Gloucester Carpet Cleaning.

4. Have a mascot

Another way to make your business memorable is by creating a mascot or character to represent you. This is especially effective if you include them in your logo. Existing cleaning mascots include Miss Maid Ltd. and Rhino Rocks Floorcare.

5. Mythology

There's a long-running trend of naming businesses after mythological characters. Mythology is often well known, meaning you can evoke certain qualities through a name – for example, Hercules Services Ltd is associated with strength, and Green Man Carpet Cleaning with rebirth. You could also be less specific and just use a magical creature, like Wash Wizard Group.

6. Cleaning objects

A simple way to let people know what you do is to name yourself after cleaning objects. Mops & Buckets SW Ltd. is very clearly a cleaning business, as is Suds Cleaning. You could also name yourself after things you want to solve, like Stainbusters (Yorkshire) Ltd.

Avoid mentioning branded products such as Hoover, as you may land yourself in trouble!

7. Values

Including your values in carpet cleaning company name ideas is a way to let people know what you're about. For example, Enviro Clean Bedfordshire and Green Carpet Care are both instantly recognisable as environmentally friendly companies, and Futurclean clearly makes use of the latest technology.

8. Think what people search for

With internet search such a common way for consumers to find businesses, it's worth tailoring your name to key phrases. I Need My Carpets Cleaned is a good example of using a common search term as a name. You could also name yourself after a specific service, like The Persian rug cleaning co.
