Stain Resistance

• People with children and those looking for sturdy furniture for a family room or game room may especially like microfiber upholstery fabric for its durability and stain resistance. The material is so tightly woven — with fibers thinner than a human hair in most cases — that it naturally repels water and stains. Even highly staining substances like wine and coffee can usually be wiped away without a trace if they are caught right away. The material typically wicks away moisture which makes spills bead up on the surface, at least at first.

Discoloration and Damage

• Stains that aren’t addressed right away often lead to bigger problems, though. The material is water and spot resistant, but not water and spot proof. This means that stains can be a big problem if they aren’t noticed or treated right away.
• The material is also prone to water marking. Water marks or water “rings” happen when moisture penetrates the surface of the fiber and causes discoloration. This isn’t usually noticeable when the material is wet, but usually becomes increasingly evident as things dry. Marks and rings are most common when people have spent a lot of time scrubbing at stains, or when they’ve left moist towels on top of stains for too long. In rarer cases wet clothes and perspiration can cause marks, too. Skin oils may also penetrate the fabric and can lead to permanent stains over time.

Static and Cling

• One of the biggest downsides for many consumers is the fabric’s tendency to grip dust, hairs, and other small particles. This is actually one of the reasons microfiber material makes great cleaning cloths; the particles on the fabric’s surface really cling to dirt and debris. While this is great on floors and counters, it isn’t usually as helpful for furniture. It can be difficult to remove hairs and other fibers, particularly from light colored upholstery. People with pets often have the biggest issues in this regard.
