Hi
What you need to do with this stain is use a solvent type spotter. Since you don't have the professional stuff try using orange glo, 409. You can also try acetate. If you are using acetate put it on a towel first and blot with towel.
First you will need to do is a test.
To do the test spray the cleaner, using the back edge of the cushion, spray a spot about the size of a quarter and wipe it with a white towel and let it dry on it’s own.
If you get colour transfer onto the towel it is not safe to clean.
If there is no change in colour and no watermark then it is safe to clean.
If there is a watermark but no colour change it is safe to clean, only thing is you will need to clean the whole thing.( to stop watermarks)
If you decide to clean it DO NOT do a lot of scrubbing on the fabric because you can damage the hair that is on the fabric.

there is this stuff you can get at Petsmart called Get Serious. It was made for dog pee, but it works on all sorts of stuff!
I would try that in a heartbeat.
***Before you go to all the trouble of the scary sounding chemicals, give something like the natural enzymes in the Get Serious product a try. Its label states: Gets Out pet pee, pet poo, pet barf, pet drool, old stains, icky stains, red dirt, doggie diarrhea, birthin stuff, grass stains, blood, duck poop, grease, gum, squished caterpillar and anything else your pet tracks in or leaves behind. Kids - pets...very little difference when it comes to the associated griznoids...
You can check it out at www.getseriousproducts.com.
Do be careful about the excess scrubbing - as this may cause your couch fibers to pill, or show excess wear in certain spots.
Seriously, good luck!
