Please note that this is advice; you remain responsible for executing the correct method of maintenance and cleaning for your carpet.
Your carpet has been produced with the utmost care and attention. However, to keep your carpet looking and feeling good for as long as possible regular maintenance is necessary.
Keep your carpets looking great
To ensure your carpet will last as long as possible it is essential that you vacuum your carpet on a weekly basis from the moment of purchase, preferably with an electrically driven brush head on your vacuum. A brush head on your vacuum will remove dust and dirt better than the regular head on you vacuum. This will keep your carpet looking fresh, soft and new and prevent particles from becoming embedded in the pile. With new wool carpets small fibres are released which leads to the forming of plush, especially in the first few months. This plushing of the carpet does not affect the quality of your carpet; the plush is limited to a fraction of the total weight of the carpet. During these first months you should clear your vacuum on a weekly basis.
You can prevent damage to your carpet by placing absorbent mats at the entrances to your home. These should be changed and cleaned when they become dirty.
Stains should always be treated immediately after forming to ensure the best chance of getting the stain removed completely. Please handle your stains as follows:
Step 1: Immediately soak a bath towel in cold tap water; squeeze out any excess water and place the towel on the spot of the stain. Leave the towel in this spot, without peeking underneath, until the towel is completely dry. Never rub or dab on a stain, by doing so you could harm the texture of the carpet. Never use any soap!
Step 2: Are there still stains visible after you have treated the stain as described in step 1? Please follow the steps on the ‘James Staindisc’ (below) or on the James website at www.james.eu/en/stain-removal. James products do not cause any damage to the carpet and are available via www.james.eu.
