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 $59, you get two rooms of carpet cleaning and two rooms of Scotchgard or deodorizer from McCreary's Healthy Homes (up to a $171 value).

McCreary's Healthy Homes, a family owned company, has been banishing carpet crumbs and rug rubbish since 1969. Combining the values of old-fashioned service with new-fashioned technology, the owner—known as the Carpet Guru by a devout following of clean freaks—personally supervises a majority of the residential cleaning jobs. Without picking favorites, choose two household rooms (up to 225 square feet per room) to treat to a top quality, pH balanced cleaning process with soft water and Green Seal-certified cleaning products. Once floor space is suitably sparkly, choose between a protective layer of Scotchgard, which repels future dirt disasters, or a cleansing deodorizer to remove evidence of Fido's uncontrollable onion habit. After two to four hours of dry time, carpets are restored back to their natural, hygienic state. Use this Groupon to avoid room revolts by adding on additional rooms for $23 each ($49 value per room).
