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 Scarsdale
Nine in ten Scarsdale homes are owner occupied, and a rug that stays in one place for years always wears its fringe at the end nearest the door. Turn the rug around every year so the ends share the wear, and keep the vacuum's brush away from the fringe, which it pulls and tangles. The fringe of a knotted rug is where its warp threads end, and they hold the last rows of knots, so loose threads are left for us rather than trimmed. Cotton fringe that has turned brown can often be lightened by hand, and you hear before cleaning which ends will brighten.
