I am looking at couches and all the stores are showing Microfiber (feels like suade) couches. I have it down to two couches both are microfiber but I'm not sure it they will hold up to wear. One of them is almost white and I'm afraid the fuzzy part will wear off or it will stain. One of the guys at the furniture store said that he tells everyone who buys a regular couch to get the stain treatment but not on a microfiber couch because it won't stain. Is this true? Anyone have a microfiber couch? Help please.

Micro fiber is the greatest.
Our sofa and love seat are a dark olive green and they still look brand new after a year.
Unless you are a super neat freak or hardly use the sofa I wouldn't buy white. We have 3 bus drivers in our house, and it would be dirty in no time.
We use a damp sponge to clean up messes on our sofa and it works fine.

Whether or not the couch is made of micro fibers or regular fibers, get the stain treatment. Microfiber material does have similar wear and tear staying power as compared to regular fabrics, but not by much. Yes, microfiber CAN stain. Any kind of white fabric material WILL eventually get dirty no matter how well cared for. Plus, the fuzzy-stuff will wear off too.
