I have been using 30 Vol. to pre-treat spots and sometimes use some ammonia as a catalyst on the bad stains. It works well but I am tempted to try 40 Vol on tough stains.

You can safely use some products on new nylon but not on that exact same carpet after it has been exposed to direct sunlight for 10 yrs.
You can use Chlorox on wool, Nylon etc but only at certain weak dilutions.
You can use powerful oxidizers on Nylon for very short time periods but leave it on too long and you will have discoloring.
Best to do your own testing on old scraps from a carpet store dumpster if in doubt.
Finally some colors of Dye are more durable than others, notice how a bleached out beige/brown fades to yellow.
