Hi,
I HIGHLY recommend micro fiber! I have this for my family room set as well as my set in our finished basement and with kids, its great! All you need is a damp sponge or cloth with water and stains come right out! So does dried on foods. I LOVE my furniture becuase of the fabric. Also, Raymour & Flannaghan has a warranty on their new stuff that you can purchase where if there is ever a stain, rip etc, they come out to clean it or repair or replace it. My daughter drew on my ottaman with pen and I couldnt get it out w/ just water. They came out and got it right out. I think you have to call them first (you cant use any chemicals/cleaners yourself cause I think it will void the contract) but this is what I suggest. Good luck!
