Default OK to use washing soda for wall preparation?

Is it alright to use washing soda (sodium bicarbonate) to clean and
degrease the emulsion paint on an interior wall before repainting?

I don't want to buy sugar soap just for this one job and I have lots of
washing soda.

---------------------

Is it true I should not use Flash because it leaves a shine of slippery
silicates and emulsion paint will not adhere well to this?
