Staining depends on the weave and treatment of the material. Performance fabrics and synthetic blends resist staining better than natural fibres, and applying a fabric protector such as Guardsman can add extra protection.

Will fabric sofas fade in sunlight?

Prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading over time, especially in darker colours.
