Looking for childproof fabric for re-upholstery of dining room chairs...?
Hello! We're trying to re-upholster our dining chairs. They are a white color (of course you can't even tell the original color by looking at them anymore :P)... We were thinking to use a fabric that will be childproof this time around. Are there any suggestions? We're looking for something that will keep its color and won't absorb anything that is spilled or anything like that. Something that will keep 2 and 1 year old kids from ruining them again. Please help! :)

I have seen fabric that is a faux leather, sold by the metre. It would be a good idea because you can just wipe it over. I have never used it so i am not saying that it won't stain but you could google it and see what you find.

1. Flat head Screwdriver 2. Staple Gun 3. 3/8' and 1/2" staples for that gun 4. small pliers (needle nose or regular ones) 5. Enough fabric to cover the chairs plus at least 3" for under the seat to attach it...(You will cut off any excess...yes waste, but if you do it too short...the first time...you waste time, and more fabric correcting the mistake 6. quilt batting (this will go over the existing cushion and the decorator or outer fabric will hold to it and this provides more cushion and bulk and prevents slipping of the Top fabric, also helps to cover the hard corners to prevent holes in the outer fabric. (Has many uses) The outer fabric will hide this as you cut this just big enough to cover the top, sides and maybe 1 1/2" for underneath the cushion. I have recovered my chairs with only a flat head screwdriver (to pull off or loosen the staples holding the present fabric) Needle nose pliers to pull out the staples. A good staple gun (not a NAIL gun) staples about 3/8' to 1/2" and this depends on the type of chair. I would get both to save a trip to the Hardware store later.And the other things I mentioned above...I hope I didn't leave anything out...I dont think so...(2 weekends ago I completely re-did 2 patio chairs seat and the back with new wood, Foam, Fabric, and covered them in clear Vinyl....They look great... Good Luck...it isn't hard..just take your time and measure 2-3 times writing down the measurements, and don't forget to add the underneath amount....

I'd suggest microsuede/fiber. A little bit more expensive but the best choice for durability, easy clean up and most importantly apperance.
