I have several sticky black stains on my couch. Things the kids have ground in. The material is like a crushed velvet, low pile. It is extremely wear resistant. Any suggestions?

Check your upholstery cleaning label:
W--Use Water-Based Cleaner. Spot clean this fabric
with the foam only of a water-based cleaning agent such
as a mild detergent or commercial upholstery shampoo.
Use sparingly. Avoid overwetting.
S--Use Solvent Cleaner. Spot clean this fabric with a
mild water-free dry-cleaning solvent available in local
stores. Use sparingly in a well-ventilated room with no
sparks or flame in the room.
CAUTION: Use of water-based solvent cleaners may
cause spotting and/or excessive shrinking. Solvent
cleaning agents will not remove water stains.
S-W--Use Water-Based or Solvent Cleaner. Spot clean
this fabric with a dry-cleaning solvent, mild detergent
foam or upholstery shampoo, depending on the stain.
X--Vacuum Only. Clean this fabric only by vacuuming
or light brushing to prevent accumulation of dust and
grime. Water-based foam or solvent-based cleaning agents
of any kind may cause excessive shrinking, fading or
spotting.
Always test any DIY method for ill effects in inconspicuous place first before beginning.
