What is best to use to take stains out of couches?

We have a canvas-type moss green couch from Levitz. Casey is up there all the time Chat Icon and it has a few light stains. I want to freshen it up, does Resolve work? Or something like that - any recommendations? I don't want to cover it with a sheet, that looks messy and I hate slipcovers.

Resolve works but my SIL swears by baby wipes. She says they get out everything.

I use Folex on the carpet (light beige) for Bama's vomit mishaps, and it works great!
ETA - not sure if it would work on a couch, but I don't see why not. I guess you would just have to check and make sure it won't bleach out the color.

I have similiar material, and I use Dawn, dish stuff. Put a bit on a rag and good to go.

There's no cure for those.

I use baby wipes to spot clean the couch. They get out pen, marker, tea stains, juice, etc.

However, DH recently fell esleep on the couch while drinking a cup of tea and spilled the whole cup on the couch....so I took the cushion covers off and washed them in the gentle cycle, cold water. They came SOOO clean and it looks like a new couch.

Mine is a beige canvas-type couch.
