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 Bronxville
In the small buildings of two to nine homes that hold 11 percent of Bronxville's housing, and in any front hall, a rug's ends meet boots, umbrellas and the vacuum before anything else. Keep the brush bar off the fringe, and if the ends are tangled, comb them gently with your fingers rather than trimming. On a knotted rug those threads are the warp, holding the final rows of knots, so a fraying end calls for repair and never for scissors. Browned cotton fringe is brightened by hand, and you hear first how much it is likely to lighten.
