Artificial leather is exactly what it sounds like – 100% man-made fiber made from plastic.

However, due to different production processes, there are many faux leather types, including PU, PVC, semi-PU, Solvent-free PU, and so on.

It is easy to sew and has no size restriction (natural leather usually has defects that will limit to size). For this sake, it is an ideal option for faux leather sectionals.

If some spills or stain marks stick on it, just wipe them off with a damp cloth. As you know, faux leather is free of aminal skins, making it less sensitive to chemicals and cleaners. So if it is for commercial use or you are too busy to do daily cleaning, faux leather couch is the best choice for you.
