Though a watched pot of water will eventually boil, a watched vacuum will never autonomously clean up a savaged piñata. Leave the cleaning to the pros with today's Groupon: for $55, you get carpet cleaning in two rooms and one hallway from SteamDry Complete Carpet Care (up to a $150 value). This Groupon is valid for up to 400 square feet of carpet cleaning in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha Counties.

SteamDry Complete Carpet Care's troop of clean-cut technicians expunges fibers of lingering stains with powerful, truck-mounted cleaning units. Scrubbing specialists relocate furniture obstructions in living and dining areas before cleansing carpets of dust, dirt, and food stains tracked in by gorging bands of dusty dirt-bikers. Deeply buried odors and bacteria abscond during a meticulous sanitizing-and-deodorizing step, and an all-over application of 3M Scotchgard protects absorbent strands from future oil- and water-based stains. The cleansing process takes less than an hour, and sopping shag typically dries in fewer than 24 hours, though the drying duration can change based on outside humidity and temperature, carpet density, and the presence of dining-room slip 'n' slides.
