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 Queens
A rug's ends wear first. In a hand-knotted rug the fringe is the warp itself, so a worn end puts the knots behind it at risk. Elevator buildings hold 28 percent of Queens homes, and the fringe is what a closing door catches; we fold the ends inside the wrapping before the rug leaves the apartment, so no thread can snag. Cotton fringe browns with age and with slow drying, and a brightening treatment lifts some of that color. Keep the vacuum's brush off the fringe, and if an end has started to unravel, mention it when you book.
