try soap and water first. that is what i was told for microfiber. i got tons of milk on the couch from olivia and it came out. if it still stinks i would fabreeze it. also you can add a little baking soda to the water too. good luck.

try looking up the website of the manufacturer, they may have ideas on how to get though stains out of their fabrics.
Poor Alex and mommy!

Our precious DD threw up on our micofiber. The only thing that worked was Natures Miracle--sold at Petco.

Can you take the cover off the cushion? I cleaned my couches by taking off the cushions and throwing them right into the washing machine.

I was going to suggest the same thing. With two kids and a dog it is amazing all the nasty disguisting things that end up on the couch. I used to use just baby wipes or the mr clean erase but then I just decided to throw them in the wash instead.

I never even thought to throw them in the wash.
I would do the soap and water - then wipes - then spray the he!! out of it with febreze.

Natures Miracle on the foam. Wash the covers if they are removable.

I can't! They aren't removable.
I tried soap & water again late last night, it's a tiny bit better but it's still there, will buy Nature's Miracle today. This sectional is pretty new too. Wonder if I can just buy a new cushion if it comes to that...
We are covered for stains & stuff, but apparently not bodily ones.
Thanks for all your help!

Don't tell them what kind of stain it is. Or spill something on it so they have to clean it.
I looked into covers for my sectional, it turned out to be more than the cost of the couch.
Also, we've had it steam cleaned. You can call a company or rent one of the rug doctors at King Kullen.
Good Luck

JUST TELL THEM YOU NEED YOUR COUCH CLEANED, DON'T TELL THEM WHY.

Maybe the dry cleaners can help. My friend did that when her DS smeared Vaseline all over her couch.
