Please mention the model(s) that you are interested in and the size(s) of the rug(s) which you are considering to purchase.

• How can I verify if a rug is suitable for use with floor heating?
  Whether or not a rug is compatible for use with floor heating is indicated for most rugs at the bottom of each product page under the clickable tab button ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. If this information is not indicated under this tab and you want to have this verified, please contact us by email.

• Can I order a rug made to a custom size?
  A limited number of brands offer custom size manufacturing. Simply contact us by chat or email if you are looking for a custom made rug so that we can verify if this is possible and what the delivery time & price would be.

• Regular Maintenance: Vacuum Cleaning
  It is important for the lifespan of your rug to vacuum clean your rug from the day of purchase about once per week. Do this preferably with an electrically driven brushing vacuum cleaner. A brushing vacuum cleaner removes dust and dirt more effectively than a vacuum cleaner fitted with an adjustable floor tool. It ensures the brushing up of the rug’s poles and as a result the original look is remained much longer. Check at least monthly whether the dust filter should be cleaned or the vacuum cleaner should be replaced.

• Interim Maintenance by Yourself
  If your rug is easy to pick up, shake it outside first, then put it over a clothesline and beat it, preferably on the back of the rug. Next, take the rug inside and vacuum it. Please note that when you are trying the clean a large, heavy rug that you will need a stronger hanging system than a clothesline to hang the rug from.
  You can manually clean your rug yourself with James and a terry towel. If you treat your rug regularly & correctly with James from the day of purchase, your rug will stay looking nice & fresh longer, since James offers surface cleaning products which clean the tops of the yarns.
  Tip 1: Make sure to very carefully read the instructions provided with the cleaning products by James.
  Tip 2: If possible, turn the rug frequently 90° or 180° degrees after interim maintenance by yourself.

• Interim Maintenance by a Professional Carpet Cleaner
  The carpet is eligible for interim cleaning when the creation of walkways by local soiling becomes so noticeable that vacuum-cleaning does not give a satisfactory result anymore. If you can not or do not wish to clean your rug manually with cleaning products by James, the rug can be cleaned by a local professional cleaning company where they will be able to use the appropriate cleaning method for your rug type.

• Stain Removal
  Stains should be treated preferably immediately. Make sure to never use soap when trying to remove stains on your rug!
  For fresh stains, immediately moisten a cotton cloth with cold water, then wring the cloth out in the sink and place the humid cloth on the stain. Leave the cloth on the stained area until it is dry. Do not dab or rub, as this may cause permanent damage to the carpet.
  For persistent stains, consult the advice & cleaning products from James.eu, a Dutch company specialized in carpet & floor cleaning solutions that offers approximately 1400 different stain solutions.
  If you have any doubts about the best treatment for a stain, do not take any action at all and let the stain dry. Visit the James website, email to [email protected] or call the James support line at +31 77 327 80 00 for reliable advice.

• Prevention & Storage
  To prevent stains and to assure longevity for your rug, we recommend to place mats in front of your home to eliminate dirt from entering your home.
  In case the floor in your house is partly carpet, partly hard floor (wood, stones, natural stones), please pay attention to the following: When you have cleaned the hard floor using soap, rinse it carefully using clean water. Dried up soap residue off a hard floor can be transported to the carpet via shoe soles. These sticky soap residues cause the carpet to become soiled quicker.
  After cleaning the floor, also make sure that all cleaning product and water under the carpet is completely dried up. Any remaining fluids or residues can change the characteristics of the rug’s front or backing and may damage your floor.
  Note that nor we nor the manufacturer can be held responsible for possible damages to the floor. To make sure your floor is protected, please use a certified underlay and follow the same above advice.
  To store your rug, always roll it with the top side outwards and wrap it in a clean cloth for optimal protection. Do not fold or store your rug in a tight plastic bag.

• Trusted Shops Buyer Protection
  Our online shop is fully audited and certified by Trustedshops.com, so you can be confident that your purchase is safe and in good hands with us. The Trusted Shops seal of approval stands for online shops that meet or exceed all requirements for the security of personal data and that offer excellent service if you have a problem with your order.

• Manufacturer Warranty
  Have you received a rug with a manufacturing fault which was left unnoticed during the quality control checks or is something else wrong with the rug such as a significant difference in colour of the rug compared to the manufacturer’s product photos which we have published in our online store?
  Simply contact us by email with a description of the problem and some photos in such case so that we can assist you with getting the unfortunate situation looked into and resolved promptly.

• Damaged or Faulty Products
  Have you received a rug that got damaged during transit or which has a manufacturing fault which was left unnoticed during the manufacturer’s quality control checks? Please contact us by email with a description of the problem and some photos in such case so that we can assist you with getting the unfortunate situation investigated & resolved promptly.
  Please make sure to verify the parcel for possible damage caused during transport at the moment of delivery at your delivery address and request the driver to report the damage on a signed copy of the delivery note which you should receive a copy of. This will prevent that the driver reports to the system that the parcel has been received by you in good condition.

• Tolerated Differences in Size & Shape
  Even though rug manufacturers are doing their very best to weave their rugs to the exact dimensions as indicated in their catalogues, there can be a limited difference in the dimensions of the rug which you receive. This is due to the nature of fabrics which can expand or shrink under the influence of temperature & humidity, as well as because of the manual finishing of certain rugs which can lead to slight imperfections to the sides.
  The tolerated difference in rug size is between 2.5% and 5% for the brands we work with. In case the difference is too significant and too visible, simply contact us by email with a description of the discrepancy accompanied by some photos so that we can evaluate the problem and help to get such situation resolved.

• Colour Differences
  The product photography provided to us by the different rug brands that we work with is of very high quality and in most cases highly reliable. Thanks to the lighting setup in the photo studios & interiors where the rugs are photographed, the rugs look mostly as you will expect them to look like in normal daylight. However, due to the differences in colour, brightness and contrast on the many different digital screens from mobile devices and desktop computers on the market, you may find the colours or colour tone of the rug which you receive to be somewhat different than expected. Therefore, we recommend to evaluate the product photos on two different screens/devices if possible so that you can verify if the colours look the same or similar on both devices, in which case you can conclude that you are most likely seeing the colours in realistic colour tones.
  We also recommend to evaluate all the provided photos for a specific rug and not only the first photo in our product gallery which shows the rug shot full frontal. The additional mood photos show the rug under different angles & lighting, which will allow you to see how the colour(s) of the rug can change in different settings.
  In the rare event where you receive a rug with significant colour differences, simply contact us by email with a description of the discrepancy accompanied by some photos so that we can evaluate this and help to get such situation resolved.

• Waves & Fluffing
  When a flatwoven rug (such as the flatweave rugs by Louis De Poortere) is new and has just been unrolled from its packaging in which it may have spent several weeks or months, it is quite normal that it will not instantly lay completely flat upon installation in your room. You may find some waves forming in the rug too after the rug has been freshly installed. Please allow the rug to settle & acclimatize to its new home and you will find your new rug to be looking perfect within the next couple of days or possibly after two to three weeks.
  If you have purchased a hand-tufted, woolen rug, please bear in mind that your new rug may need a couple of vacuum clean sessions before it will stop fluffing wool the first weeks. This is a normal phenomenon with hand-tufted rugs by brands such as Asiatic and Flair Rugs.
