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 Williamsburg
If a robot vacuum runs in the room, keep it off the ends of the rug: fringe winds around its brushes, and the machine tugs at the threads until they work loose. An upright with its beater bar spinning does the same. Fringe is the warp coming out of the weave, holding every row of knots, so one pulled thread can open the knots behind it. In the elevator buildings that hold 32 percent of Williamsburg homes, the ends are tucked into the wrapping before the rug enters the car, where a closing door could catch them. Cotton fringe that has browned often lightens with careful hand work, though brittle threads stay fragile. Point out any loose knots near the ends when you book.
