A couple of interesting things to consider.

Herculon used to be the material of the day. Nowadays you don’t see that name. You will see Olefin fiber. If you take that to be dry cleaned, some really cool chemical reactions will take place. Instead of having a cushion cover, you’ll have a fragile tangle of yarn returned to you.

Petroleum Naptha will clean an ink stain off fabric. The question is – will the fabric start showing signs of wear before the stain is gone? It takes a bit of elbow grease. I haven’t tried the OXY product. Maybe it does a better job.
