I think this might work when trying to teach your child a new/correct behavior vs getting them to stop/cease a bad behavior (biting, purposely getting milk from the fridge to explicitly dump on the floor). In my experience for kids under 4, the latter often does require repeatedly forcing them through the motions of cleaning it up. Pick your battles of course and consider underlying factors like if they're hungry or tired.
