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 Bayside
Fringe takes the most wear at the end of a rug nearest the door, where shoes and the vacuum reach it first. Swap the rug's ends every year so the wear is shared, and keep the vacuum's brush off the fringe. On a hand knotted rug the fringe is part of the warp and holds the last rows of knots; it gets washed by hand, and it is never cut back. Elevator buildings hold just 6 percent of homes here, so most rugs leave by an inside stair, with the fringe folded into the wrapping where it cannot catch on a banister.
