Furry Friendly: The Stanley Steemer Man

June 8, 2011

 – – Alright, he’s not the Green Lantern, but the Stanley Steemer technician is quietly awesome, a man who goes beyond dedication to outright fanaticism.  He is absolutely passionate about his job, in one spot throwing himself upon a trashed carpet by the curb and bewailing its fate.  “Why, WHY?!,” he moans with anguished soul.  I could have saved this one!- -I could have SAVED this one!,” he sobs as if in a Shakespearean tragedy. 

In another spot, the dedicated cleaner asks an associate if he’s ever cleaned up after an alpaca.  “It was awesome!,” he enthuses.  Evidently the carpet-cleaning needs of a home with multiple preschoolers, free-range chickens, and an alpaca are all in a day’s work for this unsung hero.

More recently, the Stanley Steemer man is regarding a carpet stain, and mentions that no mammal in the household will accept ownership of it.  “But now is not the time for blame,” he philosophizes, “now is the time for action!” 

He’s probably deranged, but I’m so glad that the Stanley Steemer man is on our side!
