Depends on what the stain is. Sometime under cleaning it is the way to go.
give some examples, Derick.
and will that "under cleaning" result in a recurring spot months later?

nothing wrong with what you're doing, Chris, but you're over thinking it.
and in most cases, wasting chem and time and doing more than is needed
96.7738% of wicking is due to not flushing the gunk out .
Slow thorough flush/rinse/extract strokes are needed on those spill/spot areas .
along with slow thorough dry stroke(s)
wicking was a very rare thing with us (fo-reel)
and almost always due to poor/lazy wand technique and/or lack of attention where needed most
Most common one was forgetting where the spot/spill was after pre-spraying .
Especially on berbers where many spill/spot areas will often disappear a few minutes after pre-spray
dropping coins on those spots was our way of knowing what spots/areas needed more attention
(more thorough flush/rinse/extract)
