Look over the
pieces carefully, if you see any spots or stains treat
them immediately. Test any cleaning solution on a hidden
part of the upholstery for colorfastness before trying any
spot treatments. 
For a generic spot
treater, whip together two teaspoons of clear dish soap
and a half a cup of water until it's nice and foamy. Use a
damp white cloth to dab the mixture onto the stain. When
you can see that the stain has lifted, dab the soap out
with a second cloth and clean water. 
Club Soda is a
quick spot treater when you're entertaining and don't have
time for a full treatment. Just dab some on and treat the
spot later. 
White shaving
cream is a great spot treater. Use very little on a damp
white cloth to treat all kinds of mystery stains. When the
stain is gone, dab with a second cloth and clean water.
If you have a
stain on a cushion, don't pull the cover off and throw it
in the wash. This could cause damage and shrinkage. Unzip
the back and put a towel in between the cushion and the
fabric cover, then treat the stain.
