    we have got leather chairs and they are very practical in terms of spills, wipe up great.

    good luck.

    Yep, also suggest buying dining suite in leather. Our is cloth and gets revolting in 5 seconds flat, and I struggled to find a suitable way to keep it clean. In the end I bought a leather dining chair at a garage sale for $15, and it is quite possibly the best $15 I've ever spent!

    We will be replacing all of our dining chairs with leather at some stage, just not until after we've thrown money at other areas of our house! I may be waiting a while...

    We have wooden chairs for that purpose - they look gorgeous and are low maintenance

    we put down old cloth nappies on DD's chair - it does the job wonderfully.

    i am interested in this, we just bought a beautiful dining suit on ebay for $300 including bedroom furniture. ( we were very blessed with this purchase, our bedroom suit was white with pink handles that i had used since i was 10). but the seats are that cream microsuede stuff and with little miss hendo coming soon i soo want to know how to keep it clean. What is PUL?
