Yep, just spilt fresh orange juice on fabric sofa. Was scotch garded once bought, but WTF do I do now? Apart from wiping it up, obviously?????

Mop with damp cloth, don't wipe.

Google is useful...

Throw some vodka on it, grab a straw & get stuck in. You'll soon forget about the sofa

In all seriousness, soak up as much as possible with kitchen roll (do not rub whatever you do). Then, lots of water to dilute & repeat with the kitchen roll thing, making sure you press really hard to absorb as much as possible (do not rub). Then Vanish cleaner.

Whatever you do, DO NOT rub whilst doing the kitchen roll blotting thing - you will just rub the stain into the sofa & it will never come out.

Have you split the sofa, or spilt the juice?

Aye, then rub melted chocolate into that, when it dries it'll all just peel off and take the stain with it! Honest.

With knowledge as concise as that you must be in the upholstery cleaning game?

Chewing gum will get the chocolate off.

Book I have suggests dabbing with cool water then dab with Meths. The juice is acidic so important to dilute and neutralise this as quickly as poss.

Then freeze the sofa to remove the chewing gum.
