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 on Staten Island
Elevator buildings hold just 8 percent of Staten Island homes, so most rugs leave a house through the front door or the garage, carried by hand with the fringe folded inside the wrapping. At home, the fringe wears where shoes and the vacuum reach it first; keep the brush off the ends and swing the rug around each season, so the two ends trade places and share the traffic. Fringe on a knotted rug carries the knots of the last rows, so loose threads should be left for us, never cut or pulled. Browned cotton fringe often lightens with careful hand work.
