Tips for cleaning upholstery?  

Wool or poly?
It looks like sound fabric....I'd use a foam spray.
Spray a bit on the stain and use a SOFT brush to work it in.
Then with a clean paper towel, blot up the liquid and let the remainder dry.
Vacuum is up and it should be just fine.
If it was an original vintage cotton fabric, I wouldn't do the above, but I suspect that this neutral colored fabric should be able to handle a spot cleaning.
You can always contact Modernica to confirm.

I am almost 100% certain...
I am almost 100% certain that the fabric is called "Chataqua" and the color is called "Drift." Chataqua is the standard Modernica upholstery (type 1). DWR and other ready-to-ship companies usually only offer this sofa in the Drift, a red color, and a dark gray. Chataqua Drift is the most popular choice for this daybed(for good reason, I love the color). I actually had my Steelcase sofa reupholstered in Chataqua Taupe.
When I have had light marks on the sofa, Oxiclean has worked like a mo-fo! Try it on an inconspicuous spot first, of course. The upholstery is made of 100% Nylon. It should hold up to some pretty bad punishment!

Thats great thanks guys
Wh...
Thats great thanks guys
Whitespike, thats really helpful thankyou, I like the colour too 🙂 its what first caught my eye, I have just had a look and it does look synthetic so it should be tougher as you say
I think i've seen oxi clean over here so i'll try and pick some up
Quite looking forward to get started on it now fortunately the frame is in good order so fingers crossed it should turn out into a nice little sofa

Hi
Hi
That looks like wool hopsack to my eye. Its a weave and probably not a poly fabric? Though there are woven polys... I would pose the question to Modernica via email. You can also use a small sample and burn it to discover the content.
Sometimes upholstery guys use lighter fluid clean spots.
How To Test for Fabric Content
How can you tell the fiber content? Aside from having a label or bill of sale, you'll have to test it. The burn test is a simple test where you burn a sample of the fibers and observe characteristics as they burn. This can give you a general idea of the fiber content.
The burn test is made on a small sample of fibers twisted together. You will need to take this sample from the edge of your fabric.
First cut a piece of fabric about 4 inches by 1 inch. Unravel the sample to collect the fibers for your test. Next, take least six to eight yarns about 4 inches long, and twist them together into about a 1/8 inch in diameter bundle. Set up your test area with something to hold the sample while it burns and a safe surface to hold the ashes and/or protect the area below from burning. A tweezer or two coins held together can be used to hold the end of the bundle. A sheet of aluminum foil spread below the test area can be used to protect. If the sample ignites it can be dropped on the foil without damage. Use either a candle or match to provide the flame.
Conduct the Burn
Ignite the sample and observe as it burns. These are the characteristics to look for:
Do the fibers burn and/or melt?
Do the fibers shrink from the flame?
What type of odor do the fumes have?
What is the color of any smoke?
What does the residue of the burned fibers look like?
Natural Fiber
Cotton: Burns, but does not melt. Has the odor of burning paper, leaves, or wood. Residue is a fine, feathery, gray ash. (Hemp Linen Ramie Rayon Same)
Wool, and other Protein Fibers: Burns, but does not melt. Shrinks from the flame. Has a strong odor of burning hair. Residue is a black, hollow irregular bead that can be easily crushed into a gritty black powder. Is self-extinguishing, i.e., it burns itself out.
Man-made Fibers
Acetate: Burns and melts. Tends to shrink away from flame. Has an odor similar to burning paper and vinegar. Residue is a hard, dark, solid bead.
Nylon: Burns and melts. Tends to shrink away from flame. Has an odor likened to celery. Residue is initially a hard, cream-colored bead that becomes darker.
Olefin/Polyolefin: Burns and melts. Tends to shrink away from flame. Has a chemical type odor. Residue is a hard, tan-colored bead. Flames create black smoke.
Polyester: Burns and melts. Tends to shrink away from flame.Has a somewhat sweet chemical odor. Residue is initially a hard cream-colored bead that becomes darker. Flames give off black smoke.
