I'm decorating my home and I want a living roome set made of that material. I don't have any kids but I do have a stepson who is almost 5 and sometimes my girlfriends bring their kids over my home. So I wanna keep my home nice.

Any fabric that is treated with a product like 3M Scotch-guard will be more resistant to stains. These products are all either Teflon or silicone based and will prevent liquid from penetrating the fabric as quickly. For instance, if grape juice is spilt, it will sort of ball up on the surface of the sofa, allowing you to blot it clean. BUT, if the juice (or other spill) gets rubbed in, it will get through the fabric treatment to some extent. These treatments are all guaranteed for 3-5 years which is nice, but remember, the guaranties do not cover dry dirt, so if your stepson fell in the garden and got some earth on his pants, that can transfer to the sofa and stain, or at least leave a dirty section that will require cleaning.
The other thing to consider is that certain fabrics are more washable and take better to spot cleaning than others. Chenille tend to be fussy for spot cleaning, satin-like fabrics tend to exaggerate any dirt marks... Brushed denims (available in at least 20 colours) and cottons tend to do well in homes with children because, like jeans, they wash amazingly. Ultra-suedes also have the reputation of being easy to clean and not showing wear-and-tear as quick as some. Ultra-suede come in many qualities though, so if that's what you were thinking of, compare before purchasing -- a good ultra-suede has a fairly thick lining on the back of it and very little stretch to it. Good luck!

I believe you may be referring to the Teflon coated material.
