Silk is not the best fabric to have, especially with young children. Silk is very hard to clean, it holds stains easily, and you must use special cleaners to remove. You may want to wait until the kids are older before puchasing the silk sofa.

Silk upholstery is surprisingly durable but its real drawback is that it is not at all easy to clean it. Spillages or stains will ruin the piece and so beware!
