Our company is an innovative growing company that offers floor care cleaning products to the home consumer. We have an expanding line of machines, cleaning solutions, and accessories engineered to clean and protect the consumer’s flooring investment. Our equipment line ranges from commercial grade machines that are also used in the rental industry, to a line of accessories that can be utilized with shop vacs to clean spots and stains, auto carpet, and drapes. We have sturdy lightweight machines that provide professional results for the discerning consumer looking for quality and value.
We also manufacture a full line of environmentally friendly cleaning solutions. These solutions are formulated exclusively by us to provide a professional cleaning. Our primary machine and cleaning solutions system enjoys the Carpet and Rug Institute Platinum Seal (not all our products have CRI approval yet). This certifies that the product performs while protecting your carpet. Our solutions are safe for the environment, family, and pets.
We are looking for a name that is modern, clever, memorable, and descriptive of the value or type of products that we provide our consumers. The name must not be too long, no more than three syllables, no more than two words. The name must be appealing to women and men. We do not want any reference to Rug or Carpet in the name. We will be expanding into hard surface and other types of cleaning. We must be able to get a good web address for name.
Brief updates
- 15-Nov-12 6:35 p.m. GMT
- Please do not get stuck on using floor in the name. We are not sold that we want floor in the name due to fears it will be too narrow.
- 15-Nov-12 8:09 p.m. GMT
- Thanks for the submissions. We are looking at most of the submissions and don't feel most are headed in the right direction. We do not want any names that have a negative feel. We feel that names with scrub, brush, mop, sweep, dust, or dirt tend to be a negative. We want upbeat, clean, modern names. One company that comes to mind is Method(Trademarked-DO NOT USE). It refers to a process, not specifically related to cleaning, but is memorable. Another example is the Nest Thermostat. Nest refers to your home. It is short neat and memorable. These are both simple words, but do not give a generic feel.

- Just a side note, we will need to have attorneys review the final name choice to determine if we can trademark.
- 20-Nov-12 4:13 p.m. GMT
- Please do not use the word scrub or mop. We have seen several submissions with these words. Thiose words can have a negative connotation. Also, the example of Nest was given. It was an example of words that are simple and neat product names. We do not want to use nest in our name.

- Need additional time to fine tune
