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 Hell's Kitchen
On a knotted rug the fringe is the warp itself, finishing at each end, so damage there can travel into the weave. Age and a slow, wet drying turn cotton fringe brown, and a brightening treatment aimed only at the fringe can lighten it. Of the 40,309 homes in Hell's Kitchen, 37 percent are in buildings from 2000 or later, where floors are often smooth and hard, so a rug slides and drags its ends; a pad underneath keeps the fringe from being scuffed. Between cleanings, keep vacuum brushes off the fringe and pass over it with suction alone, and never pull a loose thread; snip it level with scissors or show it to us when we collect the rug.
