color run

I am going tomorrow to inspect an upholstery cleaning job on behalf of a furniture store chain. They sold a beige colored microfiber suite along with maroon colored indian cotton throw cushions. The color from a cushion ran onto the suite .
Any advice on treating this without it spreading further as solvents cannot be used on microfiber?

Microfiber

I've had good luck on Microfiber removing non eraseable markers using rubbing alcohol, after that I would use a VDS. Don't know how good this will be on dye but I definately would not get to aggressive. Blot it out don't rub.
Make sure you do all the routine tests make sure the fabric they told you is actually they said it is and test anything your going to use on it in a inconspicuous place for problems.
