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.

Oregon's contrasting physical features are characterized by great forested mountain slopes and treeless basins, rushing rivers and barren playas, lush valleys and extensive wastelands. The major determinant for these unusual climatic differences is the Cascade Range, a rugged mountain chain running north to south c.100 mi (160 km) inland. As the eastward-moving air masses, warmed by the Alaska Current and heavy with moisture from the Pacific Ocean, rise and meet the cooler mountain temperatures, rain is precipitated over the western third of Oregon. Dry air and continental climate prevail over the eastern two thirds of the state.
