This morning on the way to our week old beige microfiber couch my wife tripped and dropped a full cup of coffee on to the chaise portion. How do you clean it out?

Hi
Most fabrics can be cleaned with a steam cleaner. You will need to do a test on the fabric to see if you can clean it. Be careful with what product you uses (neutral PH carpet cleaning solution is good) or Dawn dishwashing liquid (2 or 3 drops into one cup of water)
First you will need to do is a test.
To do the test spray the cleaner, using the back edge of the cushion spray a spot about the size of a quarter and wipe it with a white towel and let it dry on it’s own.
If you get colour transfer onto the towel it is not safe to clean.
If there is no change in colour and no watermark then it is safe to clean.
If there is a watermark but no colour change it is safe to clean only thing is you will need to clean the whole thing.( to stop watermarks)
If you decide to clean it DO NOT do a lot of scrubbing on the fabric because you can damage the fabric.
If you decide to spot clean only you can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying (less chance of leaving a watermark).
If you clean the whole sofa you are probably best to set up a fan to help dry the sofa.
Hope this helps
