Left to its own devices, your carpet hoards dirt, hair, grime, and used cars, eventually transforming into a full-fledged junkyard overrun with angry raccoons. Keep the outdoors out of your indoors with today's Groupon: for $49, you get two rooms and one hallway of carpet cleaning, including protectant, from Gem Carpet Cleaning in Elkhart (up to a $282 total value).

Gem freshens foot prairies from wall to wall, bringing a personal touch and customer-satisfying results to each job. Gem's trusted cleaners will cleanse the fibers of your carpet with expertise and precision, removing any ground-in dirt, soil, or stubborn rug gnomes. After flushing out the filth, the carpeteers will also apply a protectant to shield your newly unsullied flooring from the scourge of wear and its dastardly cousin, tear. Because the cleaning supplies employed are solvent-free, scrubbed-up surfaces are devoid of leftover residue and dry in less than four hours. Gem bends over backward to ensure customer contentment, offering a complimentary cleaning in the unlikely event of an un-thorough scouring, a full refund if the follow-up fails to please, and a sympathetic ear if the carpet develops a snotty attitude following its makeover.
