LivingSocial Drops A Cleveland Steamer For Only $69

  • I’m a 20-something male, so sometimes things that are said in a completely innocuous manner and setting can still make me chuckle like a fifth-grader. I’ll be the first to admit that my mind usually does a faceplant right in the gutter whenever I hear something even remotely unsavory.

    But really, this can’t just be me.

    Today’s LivingSocial deal on the westside of Cleveland, Ohio offers subscribers a great deal on eco-friendly carpet cleaning. They even say that it’s a great way to romance that special someone. Yes, today’s deal is for a $69 Cleveland Steamer:

    If you’re looking to romance that special someone, forget about spa treatments and up-market dinner dates in Tremont (save that for tomorrow’s deal). Steam it up courtesy of today’s offer from Cleveland Steamer with an eco-friendly carpet cleaning and deodorization for three areas (up to 900 square feet) for $69 (regularly $180). Your beau will swoon over the attention to detail and how the carpet won’t just be clean, but protected and odor-free. What’s more, this truck-mount steam-cleaning service uses only green products so you can be sure to keep the chemistry in your relationship, but the chemicals out of your home. Cleveland Steamer’s been going ten years strong. Let them boost the longevity of your carpets — and your love life.

    Now, I’ll try to handle this in the same way I’ve handled all the Santorum stuff – with descriptive care. “Cleveland Steamer” is a slang term for a certain sex act. The exact definition can vary, but it always involves the same thing. If you want to learn more, Google it or try Urban Dictionary. It should go without saying that the results you find will probably be NSFW.

    Is LivingSocial making a joke here? It sure seems like it. But the actual deal comes from a carpet cleaning service in the area called Cleveland Steamer. So perhaps the company made the joke with their name, and LivingSocial just let it go.

    Or maybe all parties involved are just oblivious to the slang. Either way, you can file this in the almost-too-good-to-be-true file.
