Cleaning is a verb or action word whereas cleaners is an adjective so a decriptive word so I would go with the former over the latter

Ok I get that ... At the minute I prefer cleaners .. I know it's a play on words and either or will be as good as the other and someone searching either option will come across me regardless... just a stupid thing that's posing me a dilemma

I changed my name from Southern Cleaning Services to Iconic Window Cleaning a couple of years ago. In my opinion Window Cleaning is better.

Cleaners is plural.
Is there more than one cleaner in your business or are you on your own?

I know what you're saying andy ... Would that matter though? ...

my intuition is sending me down the window cleaners route ... Not sure why an I know it's a total play on wording but thinking that's the way for me....


maybe it's cos more are named "whatever cleaning "  does it really matter though ... Just a niggly thing

I don't think it really matters what you call your business.
Flash names and signage only serve to stroke an individuals ego in my opinion.
Just as long as people know what you do, that's all that matters.

Couldn't agree more .. That's why I'm having a slight tweak, and I guess at a glance when someone sees the van , printed workwear etc... I want them to quickly see what we do ... 

To the point where I'm thinking of not even having contact number on the van,

Just our title , and website which is just the title .co.uk

Shouldn't windows be plural, then?
You are cleaning more than one window  ;D.
