Unless you're cultivating a dirty-dish collection, sometimes it can feel like all you ever do is clean the kitchen. Instead of giving up your hobbies or teaching your swarm of fruit flies how to hold a soapy sponge, get spick-and-span with today’s Groupon: for $20, this deal gets you EcoMaids of Marietta’s fill-in service, an expert bathroom and kitchen cleaning (a $50 value). If you'd like to upgrade, you can apply the value of your Groupon to a more expensive service and pay the difference. The skilled EcoMaids will go gunning for grime anywhere in their service area, like Van Helsing hunting down a malfunctioning Franken-Mummy.

Cleaning your kitchen and bathroom often results in the antiseptic scent of bleach and artificial pine. EcoMaids uses only nontoxic, chemical-free products that won't harm your family, your pets, your family's family of pets, your pet family, or the environment. These gentle yet effective products will get your surfaces sparkly clean without damaging your furniture finishes or utility surfaces. EcoMaids will dust, spray, scrub, wipe, scrub, wipe, mop, and sweep your floors, surfaces, baseboards, and more. They'll empty the garbage, clean the encrusted Lean Cuisine from your microwave, and fold your toilet paper into a welcoming triangle. Instead of you having to go on an expedition to find dishes lurking under your housemate's bed, EcoMaids will gather and load your dishes into your dishwasher for you. If you don't have a dishwasher, EcoMaids will clean your crusty bowls by hand. Click on EcoMaids' checklist to get a full run-down of the services they provide.

Sanitize a freshly rented apartment, or make your kitchen floor's five-second rule revocable. This Groupon even makes a thoughtful gift for the Pig-Pen in your life, or newly retired cleaning lady.
