Carpet is like your house’s hair, in that attempts to give it a high top will likely end in misery. With today’s Groupon, give your carpet the kind of cleaning you’d want if people had been walking on your hair. For $18, you get an eco-friendly one-room carpet cleaning from CitruSolution, a $40 value. Pick your favorite room (it will most likely be the filthiest), and CitruSolution will come to you, if your home is in Athens-Clarke or Oconee County. Call ahead to make sure that you’re in the service area.

CitruSolution extracts a signature citrus solution from the peels of oranges, limes, and grapefruits, then transforms it into a powerful solvent that is safe for the environment, pets, and children. Despite its homegrown origins, this solution can remove tough spots, pet stains, and odors without irritating your allergies with harsh chemicals and sticky residues. In a mind-bender of Escherian proportions, CitruSolution can even remove citrus-based stains like orange juice and spilled Christmas punch. Two to three hours after CitruSolution finishes, your carpet will be dry and ready to welcome the thousands of recently hatched chicks that you’ll need in order to practice chicken sexing.

You can also buy a Groupon as a gift for a neatnik friend or serious-minded child. A clean carpet speaks volumes about its owner’s moral fiber, as the lush deep pile is a signifier for a house’s unknown depths, suggesting spring-smelling linen closets and attics stacked with fastidiously arranged plastic organizer boxes filled with smaller organizer boxes stacked with Tetris-like efficiency.
