So, I think we're going to be purchasing new living room furniture shortly!!! YAY!!!  Anyone have any thoughts on what is the most durable, easy to clean fabric.  I have a 2 yr and 10 month old. Thanks!!

Cheap, anything cheap works then you can get new again in about 10 years when they are bigger and there are less chance of spills and damage.

LOL, we bought some cheap stuff before we got married 28 years ago and sprayed it with Scotch Guard and we didn't replace it for 15 years and that was only because we wanted something new that fit the house decor better.

I also have microfiber and love it. I have 4 dogs and a cat so I need to be able to steam clean my furniture alot. This material really holds up to my pets and all the steam cleaning and vacuuming. This fabric will be great if you have little ones. Have fun funiture shopping! Remar
