Cleaning house often runs up against inconvenient paradox: it can generally only be done by a robot butler, but a robot butler won't agree to move into a dirty house. Avoid snobby androids with today's Groupon: for $80, you get three hours of house cleaning from Momma Beck's Cleaning Services (a $165 value). Today's Groupon is valid in 17 counties.

Momma Beck's white-gloved sanitarians each bring at least six years of skill to their comprehensive roster of residential-refining services. During the course of three hours, each room endures a meticulous dusting, scrubbing, and straightening before tile, carpets, and break-dance circles surrender long-held grime. Momma Beck's polishes and disinfects the bathroom's toilet, tub, and mirrors, and kitchen counters, appliances, and cupboards will sparkle with a reflective sheen ideal for admiring biceps while power-lifting frozen turkeys. A six-step quality-control system grants customers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and, afterward, Momma's crack cleaners lead homeowners through each inch of the domicile to ensure the utter evacuation of all clutter.
