If left to its own devices, a house will forswear bathing, fill its interior with half-chewed Doritos, and refuse to clean up after its dust bunnies. Show your home who's boss with today’s Groupon: for $73, you get basic home cleaning service for up to 1,200 square feet from Maids Over Austin (up to a $159 value). This Groupon is valid within 20 miles of the 78701 area.

Professional sprucers from Maids Over Austin clean up dwelling detritus, whipping abodes into shape for day-to-day living. During the basic cleaning service, tidiness technicians spend up to three man hours scouring tiles, emptying trashcans, and intimidating dust off of furniture. Bathrooms rediscover sparkling, sanitized surfaces as cleaners wipe down vanities and shave eyeliner mustaches off the mirrors. In the kitchen, food residue meets a soapy end in the microwave and on the floor, as mops reduce hidden crud to disinfected deserters. Technicians also reclaim bedchambers, excavating s’mores crumbs from bed sheets and wiping campfire residue off of computer screens before tidying linens and ruffling up matted rugs.

Cleanliness ambassadors arrive at your door with their own arsenal of grime-battling crossbows and sanitizing solutions, although you can supply your own specialty products or request Mrs. Meyer’s organic products without an additional charge. Pet owners are asked to allow use of their own vacuum out of respect for allergic clients and dog-phobic dust busters.

Additional charges may apply for deep cleaning and make-ready cleanings.
