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 Park Slope
Cotton fringe turns brown when it stays wet too long, and a rented steam machine can do it, soaking the ends so they dry slowly. If the fringe browned after a cleaning like that, tell us when you book: some browning lifts and some has set into the fiber. Fringe is the warp of the rug coming out at the ends, so it is washed by hand, never trimmed back to hide a stain. In Park Slope, where walk-ups and houses hold 60 percent of homes and most are reached by stairs, the fringe goes inside the wrapping when we roll a rug, away from banisters and door frames on the way down.
