Carpets, like dogs, often hide under the dining-room table and let out audible whimpers when threatened with bath time. Make your carpets howl like the beasts they are with today's Groupon: for $49, you get two areas of carpet cleaning (a $71.90 value for two areas) and a deodorant treatment (a $39.90 value) from Technicare. The Technicare office is located in Powell, and any residences that are located farther than 25 minutes away will be responsible for travel charges.

Technicare's carpet-cleaning service uses the hot-water extraction method, which cleans deep into carpet and dries within three to five hours. After two areas are professionally sanitized (one area is estimated to be 250 square feet), Technicare technicians will exorcise the ghosts of bleu cheeses past with the odor-slaying deodorizer treatment. Because Technicare aims to hire only the most courteous, trustworthy, and careful technicians, you can rest assured that your carpet wishes will be respected and no one will make funny faces in your mirrors.

Though Technicare sometimes offers discounts online, this Groupon is the best deal available.
