I’ve got light coloured fabric sofas, and I confess that having had them dry cleaned a couple of times, I now put them in the washing machine a couple of times a year, and they come up like new. It was a bit of a gamble the first time, but I’m glad I took it.

Light fabric sofas can take colour from clothes particularly if the weather is hot and you’re wearing jeans.Always best when buying a fabric sofas to pay to have it sprayed against stains.
Look online for a good furniture foam cleaner or ask in a furniture store for one.

I'm not sure how to remove colours but you could try putting a nice throw over the sofa to cover and protect it?
