Like staring into a pond or reading the phone book, following muddy footsteps on the living-room carpet can help you find yourself. Clean up after this pivotal moment with today's Groupon: for $59, you get four rooms of carpet cleaning from Extreme Clean Carpet & Upholstery, Inc., valid for abodes in Colorado Springs and El Paso County (a $120 value). L-shaped rooms and rooms larger than 200 square feet will be considered two rooms.

Extreme Clean’s scrubbing squad corrals the power of hot steam to scour dirtied rugs and revitalize trafficked carpets. After spritzing domestic turfs with a prespray treatment, the expert crew attacks flooring with a truck-mounted hot-water steamer to effectively wash away food stains, lift muddy paw prints, and overthrow dust-bunny regimes. A basic spot removal disintegrates stubborn stains, and for an added charge, the crew will treat upholstery or Teflon and mist-soiled rugs and fabrics with additional treatments. Clients can also request the use of hypoallergenic products to avoid irritated noses and sneezing armchairs. After the 90-minute scrubbing, customers should allow 2–3 hours for the carpet to fully dry.
