I'll go with 15%, and even than, its mostly the first two steps.
Be honest, what percentage of stairwells really need the riser cleaned?

I rarely rinse and extract the risers any more. Anytime I do try it just over-wets the bullnose and is really doing more of a disservice.
We prevac all areas of the steps (which 90% of people do not) and then pretreat the steps only. Drill brush if necessary. Then rinse and extract. If I do see that a riser has a spot on it, I'll mist it with my wand and then dry stroke it.
I think there's a good number of carpet cleaners out there over-wetting. The sad thing is, is that there's people like Roger Lloyd training people to do it, so they don't know any better.

The first two or three in every job. Then the likelihood decreases as you go up. If you’re trying to talk yourself out of making your stair wand functional for cleaning risers you can console yourself in knowing virtually every customer you have is a hack and doesn’t even consider cleaning risers.
Dumb your tool down and make it as unexceptionable as every other tool we have to choose from.
You moron.
