Luxury Persian rugs are coveted artwork for those who own them. With a thick, soft pile and rich colours, they make a handsome addition to any room, however, even those simply on display can accumulate dirt and dust over time. One area where this can especially be apparent is the fringes of rugs. Read on as we explore why professional cleaning is best for Persian rug fringes.
When fringes need special care
Often fresh white in colour, rug fringes become unsightly when they start grime clings to them, or their threads become choked with unwanted particles giving them a brown or yellow hue. When rugs see active use their fringes, particularly when they are lengthy, can also tangle and knot with one another. Such issues can greatly ruin the visual appeal of Persian rugs.
Attempts at home care can be unwise. Unlike machine-made rugs that feature a sewn or glued-on fringes, in Persian rugs, the fringe is an integral part of their construction, forming the ends of warp yarns. If rugs are cleaned to vigorously or using the wrong cleaning solution, fringes can become damaged. Tassels can be torn or untied, which can lead to the rug unravelling beyond repair.
