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 Greenpoint
Fringe takes the first hit when a rug creeps. In the newer buildings, those from 2000 or later, which hold 41 percent of Greenpoint homes, floors tend to be smooth and hard, and a rug without a pad edges forward until its ends bunch up and are stepped on. A pad cut a little smaller than the rug limits the creep and keeps the ends flat. Hand-knotted rugs get their fringe from the warp threads themselves, so fraying there can loosen the knots beside it, while a machine made rug wears a sewn-on trim. Point out any loose ends when you book, and mention it if white fringe has taken on a gray or yellow cast.
