If in doubt foam clean it, you need a bucket, some foaming shampoo and a sponge or hand mitt. Use the foam as a cleaner and extract off.

Personally I would wet clean and turbo dry.

I'd follow Doug's sound advice.  Viscose in flat-woven form isn't a great risk, many people poop themselves at the mention of the material but it's not all doom and gloom!  If it was that weak it would split when sat on :

The only thing I'll add is that viscose never seems to clean very well when it's got really badly dirty.  I blitzed a really trashed one a while back with my normal heavy-duty approach and was left a bit frustrated, to say the least.

What about a dry powder shampoo like Host. Certainly Hagerty sell a product which they say is suitable on all colour fast fabrics. I've got a large quantity of this Hagerty powder.

Cleaned a white vicose/linen flat weave suite very similar with water marks and stains all over. Rubbish to clean, method I used was to try everything twice and scrub like mad...solvex, solvall, spitfire, HD, Ultra pac, Rx spotter, sodium meta...not great results but they have had me back for the last two xmas cleans, sweated like mad each time. They said it was a good job compared to the dry cleans they had previous.   

Also cleaned a viscose suite recently with a decent pile, left it fury but they were happy.

Explain what can and can't be done and how it will be left with each method, price accordingly and let them decide, there won't be many.

did the test clean on one cushion.
think jim summed it up.
don't clean very well at all.
tried one step, tried natural orange. obviously i was cautious so agitation was minimal, probably could of scrubbed a lot harder, but from the results of the first 2 goes i decided to call it a day.
viscose is off my to-do list.
