If you are looking for an easy to maintain home, and who isn’t, then you should know which furniture, flooring, and wall materials are the simplest to clean. The good news is that there are a number of options available for all types of rooms. Let’s take a look at these simple to clean options.

Types of Furniture

When it comes to furniture, you will want to find a well made durable sofa that has an easy to clean upholstery fabric. Microfiber sofas are a great option since it’s easy to clean up spills and other messes. Additionally, leather furniture is always easy to clean. In many cases, you can clean up any mess with a damp cloth with little risk of staining. If you don’t want to use actual leather furniture, then you should consider faux leather furniture. At many furniture stores, faux leather upholstery on furniture will be marketed as “leatherette”, “faux leather”, “vegan leather”, “PU leather” and “pleather”. According to Living Space, fabric furniture made from durable fibers and tight weaves is an excellent low-cost option. “Upholstery should be vacuumed frequently to keep the fabric in good shape and prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the body of the furniture.”

Flooring Options

When it comes to easy-to-clean flooring materials, there are a number of options to choose from. According to Flooring America, one of the least expensive flooring options to consider is laminate. Laminate flooring is inexpensive and easy to clean. Also, laminate flooring is available in a number of different design options. Another easy to clean flooring surface is ceramic tile. The ceramic tile option is ideal for a high traffic room in your home like the foyer or a family room. Finally, you can opt for wood flooring as an easy-to-clean option. Most flooring stores will offer a wide spectrum of low-maintenance flooring options to consider, including luxury vinyl flooring and engineered wood.

Walls

If you want your walls to last, then you will want to consider a number of different wall coverings. Vinyl wallpapers wipe clean easily and are good for bathrooms and children’s room. One of the easiest types of walls to maintain are wood-paneled walls. With a wood-paneled wall, you can clean the surface with a solution of trisodium phosphate (TSP) and water. Life Should Cost Less also recommends other easy-to-clean wall types including glass and ceramic wall tiles in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens.
