Specialized hand-cleaning of rug fringe, removing discoloration and restoring crispness.
Arrange a pickup
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 Brooklyn Heights
In the walk-ups that hold a quarter of Brooklyn Heights homes, the stair is where fringe gets hurt: the front end of a rolled rug meets the banister at every turn. We turn the fringe inside the wrap before it goes down, and on a hand-knotted rug that matters, because the fringe is the end of the warp and a snag there pulls on the knots behind it. Before pickup, check the ends of the rug and tell us about any loose knots or worn fringe. The fringe itself gets a hand wash, separate from the pile.
