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 to Extreme Steam. Extreme Steam serves homeowners in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas listed here. Choose from the following options:

• For $35, you get carpet cleaning for two rooms (a $70 value).
• For $55, you get carpet cleaning for four rooms (a $110 value).
• For $99, you get full-service air-duct cleaning (a $199 value).

Extreme Steam's staff purifies carpets and air ducts with powerful equipment and cleaning techniques. After technicians relocate small furniture, jets of hot water plunge into carpets, homing in on contaminants before an extractor wand dissipates dirt, pet hair, and dust. The disinfecting and deodorizing system can kill germs and dust mites, leaving behind a pleasing scent easily appreciated while practicing the worm. A color-brightening treatment further removes hue-inhibiting gunk to reveal richer, more vibrant fibers and cryptic, ottoman-shaped crop circles. Although the cost is not included in this Groupon, patrons can add hallways ($10 each) or steps ($2 each) to the regimen to revive high-traffic areas.

Extreme Steam’s technicians also purge air ducts of dust and clogs to prevent allergens from wafting into sensitive nostrils. Clean air ducts can increase household energy efficiency and heating to drive away unwelcome nests of arctic explorers.
