Blot stains instead of rubbing

Use an upholstery cleaner approved for the couch material

Clean leather with a leather-safe cleaner and conditioner

Disinfect hard non-fabric parts with an appropriate disinfectant

Let the couch air dry completely

Open windows or use fans to speed drying

Sprinkle baking soda on fabric to help absorb odors, then vacuum it off
