in SoHo
Specialized hand-cleaning of rug fringe, removing discoloration and restoring crispness.
Arrange a pickup
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 SoHo
Cotton fringe darkens with the soil of the floor it lies on, and it wears where feet and vacuums meet it, so the ends often look tired before the rest of the rug does. Elevator buildings hold 22 percent of SoHo's homes, and in some loft buildings the elevator is a freight car with a folding gate. If yours is, say so on the pickup tag, since a gate can snag loose threads, and we carry the rug through with the ends held clear. Fringe cleaning has its own line in the care list on the pickup tag; if the whole rug needs a wash as well, add a note.
