Keeping an environmentally friendly home is the first step toward becoming eco-conscious, and the last step is tending to a car-top garden and taping leaves back on trees. Clear away the moss and grime with today's Groupon: for $40, you get up to two hours of kitchen and bathroom green-certified cleaning from Avanti Green (an $85 value). You may provide a priority list to help direct the Avanti team to your preferred areas for cleaning, and your Groupon also gets you a discounted rate of $20 per additional man hour on the day of your service.

Green Clean Certified by the Green Clean Institute, Avanti Green scours and scrubs residential interiors using nontoxic products. One green technician will go to work for two hours—or two technicians for one hour—deterging kitchens and brightening bathrooms. Among other duties, these banishers of besmirchment disinfect in and around sinks, empty trash, and sweep floors in the kitchen, as well as disinfect showers, sinks, and countertops in the bathroom. The staff never uses products that involve petroleum distillates, chlorines, or soapy porcupine, no matter how much time it might save.
