Wicking & Humidity

I am trying to find out whether the relative humidity in a room will cause wicking of a dormant spot. If I have cleaned a spot (presumably a tannin spill), and I am able to dry it completely without wicking, can wicking occur in the future if the relative humidity rises in the future? If so, what % of relative humidity would the room need to get to for wicking to occur?

100% you need to get rid of some realitives? The floor would have to be sweating for that to happen?

Powerbond is the worst for wickbacks. As an experiment, I had one of my techs flush a 20 x 20 area for 5 hours with a Steamin Demon and dry it with fans. The water was still coming out brown and it still wicked dirt

    He did not specify CGD Cmaster mentioned CGD

Some spots that have been over-worked on with different chemicals tend to fool you and look like they come back but infact the residue left from the overworked chemical is actually attracting new soil to the same area making your customer think the stain has returned.

You should also pluck a fiber from the carpet in question and put it into a glass of water. If it floats it is Olefin and Olefin wants to wick-up rapidly regardless of humidity.

As long as it disappears. Right?
