Peggy B on Feb 16, 2016If the sofa was free--I would PAY a professional cleaner to come in and do the cleaning. It won't be expensive ( I have paid 85 for a sofa and loveseat in MA )Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Feb 16, 2016Try stain extinguisher from Chem dry. It is a well known product .At one time Home depot carried this but not sure now. Check Home Depot.com or amazon. It truly works if you follow all the directions.Helpful Reply

Susan on Feb 17, 2016When it is hot out, take it out side under the porch and hose it down. Dump a few buckets of soapy warm water. Hose it down again, then take a bar of Ivory soap (white bar) and rub a little on dirt smudge and rub gently. Hose down good, and at this point, pour fabric softener and water all over and hose again. Let the wood dry out good, a week maybe? It will be as good as new.Helpful Reply

Ann on Feb 17, 2016Hi there, I have also used Tide and I have used "Resolve Gold Laundry Stain Remover". I would spray this, let it sit for a few minutes then wipe it with a clean cloth. Enjoy the couch!Helpful Reply

Babs on Feb 17, 2016As business owners, my husband and I have run a company for 12 years cleaning oriental rugs, carpets, upholstery and fine textiles. There's no way to correctly answer this question without knowing what fabric is on the settee. If you take the wrong advice because it seems right or easiest, it could actually damage the entire piece. If you value your new freebie, I'd suggest you pay a professional to clean it so it will last. (As an example, we charge $65 for this size piece. Scotchguard or a Teflon protectant might be a consideration, too, if you've got kids or pets.) Hope that helps!Helpful Reply

Dee on Feb 17, 2016There is a product called Spot Shot in an aerosol can. Will take about anything out of fabric or carpets. I couldn't live without it! Clear liquid, Not water based so it dries quickly.Helpful Reply

Shelby @ The Weathered Barn Studio on Feb 17, 2016..I have used ( for years ) ...a product called FOLEX, it used to be available only to the ' cleaning trade" , till around 1999. Then it could be purchased at Lowe's , etc. Its a spot cleaner for all kinds of fabric, but can be used in a steam cleaning machine for rugs/ upholstery and such. It can be used undiluted or diluted, and its no rinse and non toxic. Also biodegradable. I love this product , it works so wonderfully.Helpful Reply
