Having Beautiful Fringes on your rugs

By Cory | June 12, 2010

We took some rug cleaning pictures today during the fringe cleaning process of an oriental rug.  In the pictures you can see me (Cory) working with the fringe to prepare it for final drying.  Some of you may have fringes on your rugs that have browned out after a cleaning.  There are some secrets on how to prevent this or correct this that I cannot tell you.  But…..I can show you a few things that will clue you in on how we give you beautiful fringes during our oriental rug cleaning process.  First, take a look at this close up:

Here, you can see the raw seeds that are in the cotton fibers.  Also, you can see some staining that has not been treated yet.  For the most part, you can only see these seeds once the fringe is wet.  If allowed to stay wet too long under the wrong conditions, then these cellulose fibers will release lignin and cause the white cotton to turn brown.

Here are a few more pics of this same rug as it undergoes one of our oriental rug fringe cleaning processes:

In the end, this rug looked wonderful in the eyes of it’s happy owner.  Fringes were clean and back to their original color.  If you would like to have your rug restored so you can enjoy its once beheld beauty and luster, then just give us a call at 478-972-6583.  Remember, our pricing includes pick up and delivery!
