Too many thoughts clutters the mind, just as too many ghosts clutters a minimalist attic. Keep your abode clean and chaos-free with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a three-hour house-cleaning session from Desperate Housemaids (a $105 value). A 25% off discount is also offered on second cleanings booked at the time of the first visit.

The fastidious staff at Desperate Housemaids enlist environmentally friendly equipment and products to purge residential nooks of stubborn dirt and grime. Clients can summon cleaning genies to sanitize their living quarters at an average of up to 500 square feet per hour, including the kitchen, where housemaids utilize microfibre cloths and mops to scour countertops and backsplashes and evict fingerprints from appliances and stained-glass baby bottles. To expunge grout grime and disinfect bathing basins, dexterous fingers team up with Method natural surface cleaners and nonabrasive fabrics to achieve an ambrosial glow and maintain the integrity of the surface. Desperate Housemaids also indulges cushions and pillows with fluffing techniques and needlework acupuncture and cleans upholstered furniture and floor coverings with a HEPA filter vacuum, a neatening tool that improves interior air quality.
