A dirty carpet is like a guilty conscience—it's always nagging you from the background, and it prevents you from eating off the floor in peace. Expunge lingering crud from your rug with today's Groupon: for $60, you get up to 350 square feet of carpet cleaning from Sweet's Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning (a $161 value). This Groupon is not valid for stairs ($2.50/stair) or area rugs ($1/square foot). Groupon holders are also eligible for a 25% discount on any square-footage that exceeds 350 square feet and a 15% discount on any upholstery cleaning.
Sweet's Chem-Dry's Five Star–certified carpet-cleaning experts use a hot, carbonated cleaning system to scrub floor-bound fibers by exploding dirt and grime and then lifting the offending substances away. These berber-busting detectives carefully comb over carpets seeking smudges left by muddy shoes or wandering Christmas trees and collaborate with customers to formulate a blanketing game plan. Heated water expunges carpets of filth using less water than steam-cleaning methods, leaving carpets sparkling clean after drying in one–two hours, not days. Though powerful against shag-sullying grime, the carpet-cleansing agent is non-toxic and safe for use around children, pets, and houseplants that lean in for a closer look.

The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
