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
