protecting dining chairs from the kids eating mess

[Mrs McAwesome]

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?
