(Non) Staining Agent of the Month

Part of the fun of this site is that it is not always serious. You may recall that mustard was January's diabolical flooring "staining agent of the month." We will soon announce this month's flooring stain producing monstrosity. However, this entry focuses not on a staining agent harmful to floors but rather upon the non Staining Agent of the Month.

Without question, our inaugral winner must be James Bond. Agent Bond resides in the pantheon of non staining agents. Sadly, he is known less for floors and flooring than for vodka martini's, Aston Martin's, Walther PPKs, and baccarat. Flooring plays nary a role in Bond films, save as a hard surface capable of supporting Bond's lustful conquests or absorbing the fall of yet another Bond victim. Perhaps the closest link between Bond and flooring involves his repeated staining of floors with the blood of hapless bad guys. Indeed, it would be wonderful if readers could identify any specific Bond-flooring linkage and add it to our "All Time Great Floors" in television and movies entry.

Thus, Bond and floors never mixed significantly. Nevertheless, let's all raise our pails of Milliken Capture Carpet cleaner (one of the best carpet cleaning systems on the market) to February's non staining agent of the month--Bond, James Bond.
