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: for $69, you get carpet cleaning and stain guard in three rooms up to a total of 500-square-feet from GB Carpet Cleaning (a $190 value). This Groupon is valid within a 20-mile radius of downtown Eugene.

The carpet-clarifying experts at GB Carpet Cleaning employ environmentally friendly methods that ensure a clean, dry carpet within an hour. While organic-based, carcinogen-free cleaning solutions attract greasy soil, polymers encapsulate both the detergent and soil, crystalizing into a dry residue that can be easily extracted with a vacuum cleaner or spun into cotton candy. Traces of the polymer remain in the carpet and prevent spots from wicking back. GB Carpet Cleaning's dry method uses 97% less water than traditional cleaning methods, deterring the mold, mildew, and allergens that cause Jenga game-ruining sneezes. Residents should tiptoe around the areas cleaned for 20 minutes to an hour to ensure that the carpet fibers dry upright.
