01UNDERSTANDING YOUR PIECE

Care 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 Jersey City

In the buildings of two to nine homes that make up 41 percent of Jersey City's housing, hallways are narrow and a rug's ends sit close to every passing shoe and mop. Fringe that is stepped on daily wears thin and tangles, and a short runner in the hall can take that traffic instead. On a hand knotted rug the fringe and the warp are the same threads, so a loose end is a structural matter, never something to cut. Cotton fringe that has browned from a damp mop or a spill often lightens with careful hand work, and we tell you beforehand which ends are likely to brighten.
