    Hey everyone! I’ve got two toddlers running wild and our living room is taking a beating—crumbs, juice stains, crayons, you name it. Any tips for making the space more kid-proof while keeping it comfortable and cozy?

    First, washable slipcovers are your best friend—super easy to toss in the laundry. Stick to darker or patterned fabrics that hide little messes better. Area rugs over high-traffic spots help too, and corner guards are a must for furniture. But even with all that, you’ll need a solid cleaning game. I used Chicago Couch Cleaning https://chicago-couchcleaning.com/ and their upholstery & carpet cleaning services in Chicago were a total game-changer. They deep cleaned my furniture and got out stains I thought were permanent—definitely made my living room feel kid-safe and fresh again!
