Polyester is naturally stain resistant but that doesn't mean it will resist all stains 100% of the time. Polyester is particularly susceptible to oil-based stains.
There are also stain resistant treatments that can be added to polyester fabrics and carpets to improve their resistance.
I don't care much for polyester. I found that stains such as milk based and mayonaise and such will just not come out. Cotton is my favorite fabric although if it has a 20% of something else that is ok by me.

Ask the salesperson to find out for you.....any salesperson worth a darn can pick up a phone and call the maker.
What brand are you looking at? Odds are pretty high that the fabric is going to be treated.
They have a few options to look at. You should be concerned about the entire structure if you don't want toxic chemicals in your place.
