PHOTOGRAPHED BY OUR TEAMCare begins with
understanding.
Rug fringe is often the first area to show wear, yellowing, and soil accumulation. Because fringe fibers are typically cotton or silk and more exposed than pile fibers, they require dedicated attention. Our fringe cleaning process uses gentle hand-washing techniques and targeted brightening treatments to remove discoloration, restore a clean appearance, and give your rug a polished, finished look.
We discuss the condition, recommended treatment and expected outcome with you. The appropriate method is selected after inspection; not every treatment is suitable for every rug.
Fringe Cleaning in Bay Ridge
The end of a rug nearest the door takes most of the traffic, and its fringe wears and soils first. In Bay Ridge, 68 percent of homes are in walk-ups or houses, where the way in usually starts with front steps or a stoop, and grit comes in with every step. Turn the rug end to end once a year so both fringes share the wear. The fringe is the warp itself, and the row of knots or stitching where it meets the pile locks the last rows of the rug in place; if that row is coming loose, keep that end out of the walkway and mention it when you book. Fringe is washed by hand, apart from the pile.
