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 Chelsea
Pet hair and lint wind into fringe and are hard to pull out without breaking threads, so leave the tangles for the cleaning instead of tugging at them. At home, keep the ends out of the swing of a door, which drags them every time it opens. With the typical Chelsea home in a building of 14 floors, even a fringe cleaning means a rolled rug going down by elevator; book the building's elevator time as you would for a full wash. Cotton fringe that has yellowed, from age or from a harsh cleaning, is worth pointing out on the pickup tag, along with any end where the threads have worn short.
