Is bouclé fabric stain-resistant?
Most modern bouclé upholstery fabrics are synthetic, made with polyester, and are often treated to be stain-resistant. However, if you're opting for ivory bouclé, like any pale fabric, it will become grubby if you don't regularly vacuum it or clear up spills quickly.
When choosing bouclé upholstery, check the manufacturer's care instructions and order a swatch to test it yourself.
