Household grime, if left unchecked, will inevitably develop into miniature civilizations whose complex network of treaties erupts into a devastating house-wide reenactment of World War I. Today’s Groupon spares you the trouble of tripping over tiny trenches: for $60, you get two hours of professional residential cleaning from Busy Bees Cleaning Inc., which serves the greater central Indiana area (a $125 value). Total cleaning time varies depending on the size of your home, so grab up to three Groupons to plan for major overhauls or frequent stop-ins; likewise, combine multiple Groupons to supplement your regular house cleaning with extra services.

Busy Bees Cleaning’s expert housekeepers will dust, spray, scrub, wipe, mop, and sweep your floors, surfaces, baseboards, and more. Busy Bees' maids are masters in the art of grease spatters, shoe scuffs, marooned hairs, disheveled linens, and mess. This top-to-bottom care comes standard with your two-hour house cleaning, and you may apply the value of an additional Groupon toward services including window cleaning ($7 per window), oven cleaning ($20 each), and refrigerator revamping ($20 each); customers who would like their house cleaned by actual bees should reevaluate their dreams through Internet research.

Each customizable cleaning employs the stain-fighting, sneeze-free power of safe, nonallergenic products. With the purchase of each Groupon bought as a gift, Busy Bees will offer 20% off one regularly priced cleaning. Busy Bees charges a $5 flat-rate traveling fee to all serviceable areas.
