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 Cobble Hill & Carroll Gardens
A front garden sends soil and pollen indoors on every shoe, and the fringe, which lies flat on the floor at the rug's ends, collects them. Houses with a garden path hold 10 percent of the homes here, and in those houses the entry rug is the first to show it. Cotton fringe darkens as it takes up soil, and bleach or a hard scrub only weakens it. We wash fringe by hand, apart from the pile. Between visits, a hose attachment passed gently along the ends lifts surface soil without dragging the threads. If the ends are already gray or brown, point it out when you book; some lifts and some stays in the cotton.
