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 Rye
Sand and grit gather in fringe, where the vacuum cannot reach without chewing the threads; shake the ends outdoors or brush them by hand instead. In the 12 percent of Rye homes in buildings of two to nine, hallways are short and a runner's ends take every step. On a hand knotted rug the fringe continues the warp and anchors the last row of knots, so never trim a loose thread; tell us about it. Browning from damp or a spill usually lifts with careful hand washing, and we say beforehand what is likely to lift and what may stay.
