Water Repellent: The fabric contains a layer that covers and protects against filtration and prevents immediate absorption of the liquid. The spilled liquid, be it water, coffee or wine, is transformed into droplets so that it does not leak into the interior of the material. This is easily removed with a soft cloth or paper towel.
