stain-resistant fabric

Repels liquid messes

Stain-resistant fabric is textile material treated or woven to repel liquids and resist absorbing spills: The couch is upholstered in stain-resistant fabric.

Common in furniture, carpeting, and children's clothing, it allows time to wipe away messes before they set.

The treatment may wear off over time or with washing.
