Dave, citrus gel is about the safest of the solvents for upholstery. Test it first for colour fastness in an inconspicious area. Your Nemesis might shift it too. Put it on while you clean the rest and it will probably just rinse off.

I've just used some of Johns Citrus gel today on gum on a carpet and it worked a treat.

He's not invoiced me yet so I haven't got a clue how much it costs.....but it worked.

Ta John, if using the Nemesis on the suite maybe i will dilute it 50-1, but shall i change the dilution to spot the gum?  Will try the gel too. .

Funnily enough Chewing Gum remover. From Craftex.

Use it as normal, you don't gain much with this one making it stronger.
