My home is always full of family and friends. I really LOVE to entertain and find that to be the joy of my life. However, there are those times when my guests leave and I have a heart attack because I notice a wine or food stain on my furniture that cannot be removed. As I scrub, it becomes worse and worse. I actually have a chair in my garage at the moment for that very reason.

I don't know about you but I want my furniture to be durable, stain resistant and pet resistant so it lasts as long as possible.

I was recently at Highpoint Market and participated in the Design Bloggers Tour, sponsored by Esteem media.com

Crypton was the sponsor for several of the showrooms that we visited. Their fabrics were scattered throughout each showroom on our tour, including Joybird, Huntington House and the M/T Company.

I wanted to share what I learned about Crypton's amazing, stain resistant fabrics while visiting these fabulous showrooms.

Crypton Home fabric is designed to handle anything your family can dish out, literally.

Performance technology is engineered into every fiber, so spills bead up, stains clean easily, and odors don’t cling. They literally poured a bottle of wine on a sofa at the Joybird showroom to show us the durability of the fabrics that have Crypton in them. The wine literally rolled off the sofa!

Crypton Home fabrics are beautiful and functional. They are suitable for heavy-duty indoor use. With that in mind, I was shocked to see how soft the fabrics feel. You would think that the fabrics would be rough and stiff but you would never know they have this fabulous product weaved in.

Stain repellency and soil release are built in, so you can clean it easily with soap and water. Crypton fabrics resist odors and are perfect for households with pets.

Our pup, AVA looks so sweet and innocent but she has done some serious damage to one of my chairs recently! I'm investing in some Crypton Fabrics for sure!

With Crypton, the barrier is permanently integrated into each fiber strand, so you don't need to worry about it ever separating or failing to protect because of extended or heavy use or cleaning.

See for yourself how this fabric works.
