Rental property they have a line couch.
DD just had major D -went everywhere before I realised what was happening even though she had a nappy on. Most went on cream blanket (thank goodness) she was on...but some on the linen couch!
What do I do?

Have you tried a weak solution of bio washing powder and hand hot water?

(test it first on somewhere sofa where it can't be noticed, in case it affects the fabric)

It's on the arm so I cannot take it off...I've been gently rubbing it on and off with baby wipes...but I can still see the yellow. Someone suggested bicarbonate soda in a paste tho I'm in Germany and I've yet to see the stuff... I've got 5 months to get it out...

Bicarb of Soda is Natron in Germany - you can get it from an Apotheke.

I came up with backpulver when I put it in the translator, but I put in baking soda not bicarb...

If you bake, then you cream of tartar is Weinstein and also available in Apotheke.

My MIL swears by Schmierseife.
