Everywhere I go I see people have white leather coches in their home and they are prestine.
How
The families I know do have a lot of little kids and always have lots of guests.
Asking because I want to get for my new home, but scared they won't stay clean.

Are they leather? Bec if they are you can clean it. I would stay far away from any white couch that isn't leather... even leather. Why don't you get grey

What I think they do is they don't let their children sit on those couches, or they put something down when there's nobody over, because white couches just don't stay nice.
I don't suggest that with small kids you get white leather couches.

Those "leather" couches might just be vinyl, which wipes clean. There is good quality fake leather on the market these days, and it can be nearly impossible to tell the difference.

IMHO, the only way you keep white leather clean, is to store it in a museum!

OP here
I don't have any kids at home.
GKids come over 2x a year Sukkot and Pesach
I DO entertain a lot, not only on Shabbat.
Was thinking of medium grey, but love the white, just don't want something dingy

Just as a warning, I had no idea when I got my cream leather couch, but jeans, denim, dark colored clothes etc will rub off on light colored leather.
I had a babysitter who wore jeans and it made my furniture look quite dingy and I could never get it off.

If you love white, get a white slipcover couch because then you can take the cover off and bleach it

Dark bottoms never rubbed off my white coach, but the kids killed it. Bad idea, but it was a gift.

The best way to keep a white couch white is to not own one.

You're lucky, ruchel! I have a new white leather handbag, and my denim skirt rubbed off on the corner, made it all blue.

OP here
Decided to go with a medium grey not too light
Also lookin at dining room chairs.
At the last simcha I went to the hall had chrome chairs with white leather/vinyl seats.
Gorgeous, but how do they keep them so clean.

1. They're probably new.
2. Professionals have access to commercial cleaning products not available to the consumer. Weep not; you wouldn't want those chemicals in your house.
