I wouldn't use bicarbonate of soda on materials.

Please explain. I've tried this (diluted in hot water, rubbed on with
tea towel on to sofa) with good surprisingly good results. I'll try
something else if there's either a problem with this, or a better

Bicarb isn't very soluble in water, and is quite abrasive as a powder,
so I guess you might be slightly abrading your fabric. A carpet cleaner
might be more suitable as not all stains and dirt respond to alkalis

Thanks & thanks also for all replies.
