No Maisie. The throws would end up on the floor and banning the kids would be like a red flag to a bull. The couch would look like some kind of artist''s first attempt at psychedelic modern art creation within a week!
Now, that said, we have cream leather couches that the dogs jump all over, and they are perfectly clean. What material are we talking?
Its funny how its your DH that is making the arms of the sofa dirty and not the little one!!Date: 5/25/2010 6:30:46 PM

I have very pale beige furniture. I had it scotch guarded and made sure that the pillows are removable for cleaning. I also got an upholstery cleanser that works really well. I''ve avoided most permanent stains although the arms of the couch are definitely getting and staying discolored from DH''s dirty hands. Other than that, there hasn''t been any problems and we''ve had it since right after JT was born (he''s now 4.5).

White slipcovers-try them first on your current sofa. They can always be thrown in the washing machine.

HAD to log in after seeing that website! Is it sad that I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that my kids aren''t the only ones (especially Trapper) who ruin shit?? We call Trapper ''Into Shit Bob''.
