What is easier to clean a leather or chenille sofa

davholla

I am thinking of buying a new sofa. Does anyone know which one is easier to clean leather or chenille?
Chennile is £100 cheaper for the same model but I don't know why.

Leather. Taxi drivers always specify leather upholstery.

Leather is easier to clean, but also more prone to scratch & damage

Im not convinced. I have dogs and one was sick on my leather sofa and it is still badly stained. My old chenille one would have cleaned up without a mark in sight

I swapped chenille for leather last year and have found it lots easier to keep looking nice. I have 2 toddlers that create muck everywhere and it still looks new. I bought some "whizz" leather spray from a stall in our local market, cost 99p and it feeds and cleans.

Leather, most definitely. Mine seems to be scratch resistant too. Baby-wipes are the best thing to clean it with.

Thanks everyone although I am now confused as people have such different views.

Leather 100%. Baby wipes are great for everyday cleaning, but using a flannel with some hot soapy water with a drop of olive oil mixed in makes leather sofas look new and helps to condition them too
