  Are the covers removable?  If they're removable you can just throw them in the wash (I do delicate cycle and no dryer but I'm sure that I'm a little too careful with it).  If they don't come off use a carpet shampooer with the attachment.  I have 1 couch that has removable and 1 that doesn't.  I hate shampooing it, it's such a big job (and I'm sure that I miss quite a bit) but it's so nice to see all of that grime in the shampooer.

  I've used a carpet shampooer on ours, it seems to work well.  Definitely factor in drying time, maybe do it before you are leaving the house for a while or won't be using that room.

  I use the Bissel Little Green Machine.  I love seeing all the brown water that it picks up as it cleans up all the dirt.  It must also be doing a good job of picking up the dog fur because our little niece who gets all sniffly from all the dog fur can now sit on our clean couches without getting a single sniffle.

  Ditto the drying time, ours takes a couple of hours to dry when we shampoo it.

  I have used Resolver High Traffic Foam Cleaner. I use it on my carpets and I tried on a few spots on our microfiber couches and they came out. Take a little while to dry, but smells good.

  My mom haqd microfiber and used Resolve carpet cleaner to spot clean.  Worked like a charm and her couches always looked new.

  This!!! I love my little green machine! I just don't use as much of the shampoo that it calls for. I don't like the way it makes it feel once dry. In fact, I have started using vinegar and water instead.

  I try to clean my furniture at least 2 times a year because I have 2 dogs that think the sofa is for them.

  I agree! We used a Rug Doctor (carpet cleaner) on ours as well. Definitely leave time for the couch to dry but it worked very well and our couch looks much better!
