If you decide to clean your recliner or couch yourself, first keep in mind that you do not want to get the fabric too wet. Although it may seem that more water will allow you to remove more stains, the moisture is in fact your fabric's worst enemy. Try to presoak the stains with a fabric cleaner, as mild as possible before actually putting any water on the fabric.
Then, when extracting the water, be sure to get as much out of the chair as possible. Also, avoid getting any metal portion of the chair (including pillow zippers) wet, as they will rust. The other most important thing to consider is the fabric of your chair.
Synthetic fibers are fairly easy to clean without ruining the color or the fabric. If, however, your cushions use more than 50% cotton or especially if they use a fabric called Haitian cotton, it would be smarter to have them professionally cleaned because they require special chemicals and are too easy to ruin if you don’t know what your are doing.
Finally, avoid using vinegar or anything acidic. These will definitely damage the fiber. Remember to always test any cleaner on a non-visible area of the chair before starting.

The broad level lands that gave Illinois the nickname Prairie State were fashioned by late Cenozoic glaciation, which leveled rugged ridges and filled valleys over the northern and central parts of the state. The fertile prairies are drained by more than 275 rivers, most of which flow to the Mississippi-Ohio system; the Illinois is the largest river in the state.
