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 Greenwich Village
Fringe tells the story of a rug's ends. On most hand-knotted rugs it is the warp itself, and once it wears away the knots behind it start to loosen, so trimming frayed fringe at home only brings that day closer. Cotton fringe also yellows and browns, especially after spot cleaning leaves it damp, and some of that color sits in the fiber for good. Where knots at the ends are already loose, we show you before cleaning. Greenwich Village homes sit in buildings with a median of 11 floors, and on the way through lobbies and elevators the rug's ends stay inside the wrapping. Put any service elevator hours on the tag, and leave frayed ends as they are until we see them.
