stain-resistant
Won't absorb messes
Stain-resistant describes materials treated or designed to repel stains or prevent them from setting: stain-resistant carpet, stain-resistant fabric.
The term appears most often in marketing for clothing, upholstery, and flooring.
Stain-resistant doesn't mean stainproof—spills still need prompt attention.
