1. I'm not sure, but it may have something to do with hydrogen peroxide.
And maybe Dawn or club soda. Find out what the fabric is and call a good furniture store. They may know. Also some furniture comes with a tag saying how the fabric can be cleaned. Some shouldn't be cleaned with water. Good luck.

3. I don't know.
Also a fabric store that sells upholstery fabric might know, or a re upholstery shop. People who know fabrics are your best source. If the steam cleaner works on the not spilled on part it might be ok to try. I would try a small area first. Have they cleaned it before? What they used would be good to know.

And a white sofa with red wine? It definitely needs a fabric protector of some kind sprayed on it. And always blot, never rub or scrub at the fabric, it just rubs it into the fibers. Wicking it up by blotting is best.

10. There may be a fabric content and cleaning instructions on the bottom of
the couch. Or, if the couch is a brand name, you may be able to look up the info online through the company website.

What to look for in terms of cleaning symbols on the tag:

And for future red wine spill:
