GLENCOE AREA RUG FRINGE CLEANING

Area rugs are the exquisite workhorses of the home that help protect and enhance high-traffic areas in your home. Unfortunately, the size and location of area rugs put them at greater risk of damage. Aside from spills, stains and warping, one of the most common types of damage to an area rug is fringe damage. Carpet fringes are essentially the strands that were used to create the rug. These delicate edges are not just decorative – they connect the weaving patterns and beautiful designs that make your rug unique. Because of their location, fringes are more likely to accumulate dirt and grime, and become tangled. Fringes may lose their luster faster than the rest of your area rug. However, this can usually be corrected with a good cleaning.

Rug Fringe Cleaning In Glencoe, IL

While there are several at-home cleaning suggestions on Google, we recommend leaving fringe cleaning to the professionals for three reasons:

Handwoven rugs need special attention. As we often say, no two rugs are alike. If you’re dealing with a handwoven or Oriental rug, you may need a special cleaning solution that is customized to care for the fabric. The at home solution that would work on a mass-produced cotton area rug may damage a handwoven camel hair or wool rug.
Handling fringe destroys it. The more you handle a rug’s fringe, the more likely you are to cause damage to the fibers. Our professionals have extensive training and special tools to handle and clean your fringe without causing additional damage.
Damaged fringes compromise your rug. When a fringe is dirty or damaged on a lower-quality rug, it likely won’t affect the rug. However, a fringe on a high-quality piece is attached to the rest of the woven fabric. If the fringe starts to unravel it could affect the entire rug over time!

Rug Fringe Cleaning

Our cleaning experts are equipped to deal with all parts of an area rug, including the fringe. We’ll begin with a complimentary assessment, which includes noting any stains or damaged areas. During this time we will also discuss the rug’s history, as well as your cleaning and restoration expectations. From there, we can provide a plan and quote unique to your rug. No two handwoven rugs are alike, so we customize treatment to your rug.

Next, we will pre-treat and clean the rug. For special areas like the fringe, we use a cleaning solution and special hand-cleaning methods to remove ground-in dirt and dust. Finally, we dry the rug, and then check the entire piece. If more spot cleaning or additional treatment is needed, we’ll wash / treat / dry the rug again. We recommend professionally cleaning your area rug every two to three years to keep it in top condition. Of course, if you notice damage or staining between cleanings, or if your fringes become unusually dirty and dingy, give us a call. We are happy to provide a complimentary assessment to ensure your rug remains in good shape. Our primary goal is to provide excellent service to ensure your rug will be both beautiful and functional for many years to come.
