Microsuede is soft yet easy to clean. You only need to use water for most stains. The only problem is sometimes you have to be careful as the furniture stores will use really cheap versions of it that don't clean easily. I bought my couch from Ashley furniture and it has not held up well so really check on the quality of what you are buying. You might want to consider recovering your existing furniture with good quality fabric (in a microsuede). I would contact a company that does upholstery or an interior design firm and get a quote from them. Sometimes that route can save you money other times it can be just as expensive as buying a new sofa. Good Luck!!!
