Depends on the actually fabric, some can use water only, some can use cleaners, some are spot clean, etc. See if you can find a tag.
What I found worked really really well was to buy rubbing alcohol (you'll need 2 or 3 bottles at least) and put it on a spray bottle, spray the stain, and wipe in a circular motion with a white cloth (work in small areas at a time). The alcohol evaporates super fast so it doesn't leave the stains that water does on microfibre. It got to the point that I no longer cared about my couch and I've just been using a little green machine with the bissell professional cleaner, it hasn't damaged it at all and I'm amazed how much ickiness comes out!
