    Tell her to put a tea towel on the wipe-clean chair before sitting on it :rotfl:

    I need advice, please.

    Our kitchen chairs have fabric seats which are long past the time when they need recovering. What would the NPs use for recovering. I suggested to DW that we get something that can be wiped clean, but she said she didn't want to sit on anything like that.

    So, I think it needs to be fabric, but not something that's too hard to clean? Any ideas?
    We have some from ikeak that have covers with elastic hem. Unscrew the seats, remove the covers and wash them in the machine.

    Otherwise you could just recover each time you need clean just use a staple gun - one set of chairs i was going to do with stretch denim but never got round to it.
    I think....

    Just heard a presenter on tv refer to something as 'too equidistant'.


    Is that possible? :D

    Surely it's the opposite of "insufficiently equidistant" :rotfl:

    I would go for leather or mock leather.

    No dear, I didn't get wipe clean covers, these are faux-leather!

    Ok but wipe clean covers sounds like sticky back plastic, whereas faux-leather sounds like a normal material.
