Stain prevention?

I just purchased a new couch and would like to keep it as clean as possible but that gets a little hard when you have 6 cats, 1 dog, and a very messy husband. I guess I am looking for a way to stain proof my couch. Is there some kind of spray or something I can use? HELP!!!

Answers:
3M Scotchgard. You can buy it in an areosol can.

Other answers:
Cover it: either a throw or plastic which are easier to clean.

When guests come, couch'll be clean.
