How do I get latex paint off of upholstery?

[youthere]

the kids were painting a sign for their 4-H booth and one of them had some green latex paint on her hands when she sat in my husband's recliner, and left a faint smear on the arm. Any idea? The fabric is dark blue and kind of velvety. It's a regular upholstery fabric, not a microfiber or sueded or anything. It was teflon coated when we purchased it (2 years ago). I'd appreciate any help. I tried some clear water, and some dishwashing detergent, but no good.

3. Goof-off works on almost everything

except most fabrics. you can test in a hidden area to see if it leaves a stain, but it WILL remove the paint. lol.
