thanks mark,
I know, the label said do not wet clean. Its quite a dark brown so will do a test first and see, at least I'll have the dri pro on hand.

I have seen labels stating "Do not wet clean, Do not dry clean, Contact Service master"
How do Service master clean :
If its 100% cotton then HWE will be fine, it will be like pulling teeth using Dri Pro mate

Usually if it says don't wet clean it's because it removes the flame retardancy, Just test it and odds are hwe will be fine.

Prochem Fabric Restorer followed up with Fabric and Fibre Rinse will do the trick. Seems to always work for me. Always test for colour run and shrinkage before commencing the clean.

Fabric restorer on a lightly soiled cotton suite?

Try Chemspec Haiitian Cotton Cleaner.

Brilliant on cotton as the name suggests!

if the fabrics not pre-shrunk (especially cotton) there's a fair chance it will shrink (by more than the 3.5% that is considered standard)

The most noticeable areas will be the endges of cushion covers, and if there is any lose trim on the sofa itself.

If the covers are loose, you could take them off and hand it over to a dry cleaner who would be able to clean then thoroughly without the added risk.  i run both dry cleaning and carpet cleaning businesses and if it tells you not to wet clean then its either a fabric or dye issue.  Unless the manufacturer hasnt tested the fabrics properly and has just put the dry clean care label on to protect themselves.

ive seen the prochem dri-pro stuff and its pretty pants to be honest. 

If you do decide to wet clean it then i'd get the customer to sign off the risk.
