Before I start I must stress that this advice is given in good faith and based on cleaning over 5000 suites but any cleaning carried out by you is at your own risk.

Right now how to DIY clean your sofa.

1.What material is it, are there any labels ?

2.Is it wet cleanable ?

3.Are the colours 'fast'

4.Has the suite watermarked when you have had spillages ?

If you know that it is wet cleanable, has not watermarked and the colours are fast, then you should be able to clean using a proprietary cleaner.

I would avoid any of the oxi products as these are likely to contain bleaching agents .

We believe the best product available is Carpet Spotter which is also an excellent upholstery cleaner.
