Question

Statement I: Upholstery fibres should be resistant to stains and easy to clean to maintain their appearance over time.

Statement II: Natural fibres such as cotton and linen are inherently more resistant to stains than synthetic fibres.

Options

• Statement I is true and Statement II is false.

• Statement I is false and Statement II is true.

• Both Statements I and II are true.

• Both Statements I and II are false.

Answer 1

Statement I is true and Statement II is false.

Explanation:

Upholstery fabrics should be stain-resistant and easy to clean to retain appearance,fabric selection and finishes (e.g., soil‑release, water‑repellent, stain‑repellent) are recommended for this reason.

Natural fibres like cotton and linen are noted to soil and wrinkle easily and need frequent laundering, while many synthetic upholstery fibres (e.g., polyester, olefin, microfibres) are non‑absorbent or treated to resist soil and stains, so naturals are not inherently more stain‑resistant
