I can either sanatise all the spaces, or make it so that spaces are accepted

How does this happen? Shouldn't it just be a string attribute of the instance?

When asked for the name of a fixture, it gathers straight from stdin, bun when doing this it only accepts 1 word. Then it moves on the the next line of code. Next time the program tries takin data from stdin, it won't wait for user input since there still is leftover from last time. This causes the problem of: it asks for a name, I the user puts in a name with a space, the program asks for the quantity of fixtures, spillover from user input causes quantity to be taken as part of user inputted name, which not only prevents there user from inputting a quantity, it also tries to store a string into an int var.

This could be solved either by using getline(). Or by flushing stdin after accepting one input, it is generally easier to go for the second option, but I still have not figured out how (I have tried)

And this, kids, is why we all love C++.
