In the early 90's, after the retirement of mascot Bernie, the Brewers were looking for something to keep fans excited. What they came up with was a race of various styles of sausage held before the bottom of the sixth inning of each home game. Sponsored by a local sausage company, a bratwurst (Brett Wurst), kielbasa (Stosh), Italian sausage (Guido), hot dog (Frankie Furter) and chorizo (Cinco) fly from third base around home towards first base on the warning track as the official Klement's Racing Sausages. Current standings put Brett Wurst in the lead with 18 wins.

Is Olefin Carpeting Right For You?

One of the advantages of Olefin carpet is that it is almost always solution dyed. This means that the color is added when the fiber is made and it runs all the way through the fiber. This makes it impossible to bleach or fade Olefin. Another advantage of this fiber is that it does not absorb much moisture. Because of this, it does not stain easily and it can be easily cleaned. The last advantage of Olefin is that it is relatively inexpensive. It is one of the cheapest carpets available.

Is Olefin Carpeting Right For You?

The disadvantage to Olefin carpets is that they will wear easily. It is a soft fiber that will crush and mat easily. Because of this, it is best used in loop construction carpets where the construction will give it added strength. Another negative of this type of fiber is that it attracts oil and grease like a magnet. Because of this, it is not uncommon to have an Olefin carpet with dark traffic areas. Dark areas that are not easily cleaned.

As you can see, there are numerous advantages and disadvantages to this carpet. If you do not need a carpet that will last forever and want one that does not stain easily and is relatively inexpensive this may be for you. if you however do not mind spending more money and want a carpet that will last longer, it is probably not your best choice for you.
