I managed to set a stain in my pale grey carpet using bicarb so I personally wouldn't do it. Get a professional carpet cleaner in.

yep thats it
if its a wet stain just use bicarb if its a dry stain add vinager to it

well thats what we do anyway

just dirt from traffic in and out of teh bedrooms..

if its dirt sprinkle the bicarb on and get some vinger in a spray bottle and spray it over the top - leave it for about 10-15mins and kind of rub it a little and if need be add more bicarb/vinger and vac off we've used it on our carpet a fair bit - and they're a pinkish color. it also helps for vomit stains and cat chunder!

I used bicarb and water to get red straight cordial out of beige carpet.
The main issue i had was that it worked too well - it didnt take colour out but the spots are now so clean they are very obvious in the rest of the carpet.
