Good dancers really know how to cut a rug, which is why Fred Astaire's carpet lived in fear for most of its life. Facilitate friendly human-rug relations with today's Groupon: for $170, you get up to 2,500 square feet of home carpet cleaning from Trojan Carpet Care (a $425 value). This Groupon is valid for residences in San Gabriel Valley (an extra surcharge applies to areas outside San Gabriel Valley) and Trojan Carpet Care asks that customers move furniture prior to its arrival.

Trojan Carpet Care evicts dirt and stains from homes' fiber flooring with a professional carpet cleaning. The cleaning process kicks off with a dousing of an all-natural hypoallergenic spray that breaks up deep-seated soil and spots. Then, a cleaning aficionado armed with a truck-mounted system takes to the carpet with searing-hot water and enough suction to pry the paint off the Mona Lisa, removing the stingiest of stains (additional fees apply for pet stains). Finally, the 90–120-minute de-griming culminates with a coating of DuPont Teflon shield spray to repel future liquid spills and dirt.
