Stain resistance refers to the ability of a material to resist the absorption of stains from substances like food, drinks, or dirt. This property is often found in fabrics, carpets, and surfaces that are treated with special coatings or made from specific materials. Stain-resistant products are easier to clean and maintain, making them popular in homes and commercial settings. Many products, such as stain-resistant fabrics and cleaning solutions, utilize chemical treatments to create a barrier against stains. This means that spills can often be wiped away without leaving a mark. Stain resistance is particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas where spills are more likely to occur.
