Simple answer ------------------ YES !!
Moral of the story, ALWAYS run a clean white towel over the worst areas to check for soiling after encapping.
If soiling is visible, I may do several things depending on the soiling and amount of it.
Some may only need a toweling down.
Others may need that added extraction with a spotting machine.
Some others may need more drastic measures using a product that breaks down oils, yet is still encap compatible.
Remember the golden rule for encapping carpets, if the soil load is too heavy, extract it prior to encapping.
I generally treat my upholstery jobs the same, if soiling is gross, extract first, you need not extract the entire suite, generally only where spills have occurred or sweat, etc; has accumulated.
That's my view anyhow.

I don't regret my past, I just regret the times I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or I no longer love what I can do.
Stop moving, start dying........
