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
Brown fringe usually traces back to moisture: cotton ends that stayed wet after a spill or a careless wash take on the color of weak tea. A brightening treatment done by hand often lightens them, though threads that have gone brittle stay fragile, and we tell you which you have before starting. The fringe is the end of the warp that holds every knot, so never pull or snip a loose thread there; it can open the row of knots beside it. Note any loose ends on the pickup tag instead. Most Brooklyn rugs leave by a stair, since walk-ups and houses hold 54 percent of homes, and the fringe goes inside the wrapping so it never brushes a step on the way down.
