Cleaning a Laura Ashley sofa at home - any tips?

I have an old, beloved and now rather grubby sofa which I purchased many years ago in a Laura Ashley sale. Reupholstering is beyond my budget and I've heard alarming stories of LA sofas turning pink when professionally cleaned, so I'd like to do the job myself if possible. My usual secret weapon (fairy liquid) isn't working and am nervous of trying vanish etc in case it ends up bright fuschia!

Has anyone transformed their sofa with a home clean? Any tips would be very much appreciated Smile

Hi I have just had my LA sofa I purchased in 2018 professionally cleaned by dry method and it has slowly turned patchy pink over 5 weeks. The fabric is Villandry Dark Linen. Apparently any contact with foam, liquid or just general spills turns this fabric pink. Not something that was mentioned at time of purchase. Would like to hear from anyone else who has had this problem since LA changed ownership to Gordon Brothers.
