I never put any chemicals into my extractor. Only the heated water. An extractor rinse should remove all chemical products from the fibers of the interior. My pre extraction process removes stains and so on. About 85% of an interior's junk is removed by the vacuum and is dry soil, or non-oiled dirt. If you don't pre treat the stain properly, an extractor can "set" the stain as water is nature's solvent.
Getting suds in your extractor can damage internal parts. At one time I did put cleaners and defoamers in my machine, but with the better precleaners today, you should be able to dislodge and clean anything and let the extractor just extract.
Heck, with my vapormaster, I'm not using my cleaners nearly as much anyway.
