Stanley Steemer FREE Carpet Cleaning Giveaway!

By:

UPDATE: GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! The winner is Couponashawna!

Hey, Super-Couponers! Ready for another great giveaway? How about $100 worth of FREE carpet cleaning from Stanley Steemer? (That’s enough for two rooms in your home!)

Spring is here, and along with the usual Spring cleaning that goes on this season, it’s also a great time to clean your carpets. Between muddy shoes, pet paw prints and pollen being tracked in during a high-allergen season, having clean carpets will make everything from family movie night to impromptu sleepovers even more pleasurable with soft, clean carpeting.

A quick glance at StanleySteemer.com notes that they charge about $49 to steam-clean one room of carpeting. But one of my lucky blog readers will win a $100 gift certificate from Stanley Steemer — enough to clean TWO rooms (or to put toward any of Stanley Steemer’s cleaning services!) Want to win? To enter, simply post a reply in the comments under this article! This Stanley Steemer Clean Carpets giveaway begins today, April 19th, 2012, and runs for one week. The giveaway will end on April 25th, 2012 at 11:59pm CST, and on April 26th, one winner will be chosen via a random number generator!

 

More about Stanley Steemer:

Despite their good intentions and best efforts, Americans doing their spring cleaning might make the home look or smell better on the surface, but vacuuming and cleaning machines only remove some of the dirt, dust and particulates that cause allergic reactions. In a recent national poll commissioned by Stanley Steemer, the nation’s largest deep cleaning service, nearly half of respondents predicted spending less than four hours total on this year’s spring cleaning. But only 19 percent reported having ever used a professional for cleaning.

To combat this difficult allergy season this spring plus truly make your homes clean, consumers should consider a deeper cleaning twice a year by the professionals at Stanley Steemer.

– Not just for carpet cleaning, Stanley Steemer’s expertise extends to hardwood, tile, air ducts, water damage restoration, and more!
– Stanley Steemer’s proprietary equipment and cleaning processes remove more than 98% of dry soil from floors
– With over 70 branches and 220 franchise locations in 48 states, Stanley Steemer services 95% of the country
