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 DUMBO
A rug sized for an open loft floor has a wide end, and a wide end means a long line of fringe to wash by hand. On a rug with a dark field and pale fringe, a color that bleeds shows there first, because dye travels along wet cotton faster than it moves through the pile, so the fringe is kept apart from the pile while it is washed. Of the homes in the DUMBO area, 26 percent are in buildings from before 1940, the old loft conversions among them. If your rug's fringe has turned gray or yellow, point it out when you book; some of that lifts and some stays in the cotton.
