Cleaning your house can be an excellent way to impress a date, while cleaning a vacationing neighbor's house can be an excellent way to hide the fact that you've been living there. Cover your tracks with today's Groupon: for $59, you get three man hours of house cleaning from S & L Team Cleaning, servicing homes in Minneapolis/St. Paul and metropolitan-area suburbs (a $135 value).

Mitchell Lallier's reputation for systematic desullying services remains pristine after more than 30 years in the cleaning business. The modus operandi of S & L's in-house cleaning is an initial top-to-bottom domestic scour followed by a strategy session for further spick-and-spannery should the customer wish to schedule future appointments.

Among the sparklingly multifaceted services offered are ceiling-fan cleanings, tough-scrubbing love for microwave interiors, and in-depth plumbing-fixture freshening. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your pad-purification process, you may invoke the 24-hour guarantee, and cleaners will arrive on flying brooms within a day to rectify the problem at no charge.

The meticulous minds of S & L Team Cleaning take a civic-minded approach to business, with Mitchell spending extracurricular time leading Boy Scout troops, volunteering at Job Corps, and steam cleaning the upholstered marina at Boom Island Park.
