Expert Rug Fringe Cleaning for a Pristine Look
When it comes to caring for your beautiful area rug—whether it’s oriental, wool, or any other type—we know how crucial it is to pay attention to detail. Some of the most delicate features on a rug are its fringes, which can often become dark or dingy after years of heavy foot traffic. White fringes on hand-woven rugs, machine-woven rugs, or older rugs need extra care, especially when cleaning silk or cotton fringe tassels. With 39 years of experience, KIWI is the company to trust for professional rug cleaning. Not only are we renowned carpet cleaners, but we also excel in rug cleaning. Our cleaning methods are tried and true, and we offer comprehensive services, including rug repair and rug fringe repair and replacement. Trust KIWI for meticulous and expert rug fringe cleaning that keeps your rugs looking their best.
Our Rug Cleaning Process
When you schedule a rug cleaning from KIWI Services, your rug cleaning specialist will take special care when handling your area rug’s fringes. They will first work to identify the type of rug—and whether or not your rug’s fringes were hand woven or machine woven—in order to determine the right kind of cleaning and care that your rug will need.
Before your KIWI Services specialist begins the rug cleaning process, they will also pay attention to see whether or not there are any repairs they need to make on the fringe or on the entire rug, so that there will be no additional damage made during the rug cleaning.
We clean all of our rugs by hand and use a gentle, yet powerful green cleaning solution because we like to ensure that these woven works of art won’t be damaged by heavy chemicals or a complete submersion cleaning technique.

Specialized Cleaning for Every Fringe Style
At KIWI Services, we understand that the delicate fringes of your rug are more than just decorative elements—they are intricate works of art that require expert care. With our extensive experience and specialized cleaning techniques, we ensure that every type of fringe is treated with the utmost precision and attention. Trust KIWI Services to preserve and enhance the beauty of your rug’s fringes, regardless of the style. Here are some of the most common fringe styles and how we expertly care for them:
- Knotted Fringe: Knotted fringe is a classic and popular style where the ends of the fringe are tied into knots. This not only secures the fringe but also adds a decorative element. Knotted fringes are often found on traditional and Oriental rugs.
- Braided Fringe: Braided fringe involves intertwining strands of the fringe to create a braid. This style is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides extra strength and durability. Braided fringes are commonly seen on hand-woven and custom rugs.
- Twisted Fringe: Twisted fringe consists of individual strands that are twisted together to create a spiral effect. This style adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the rug, often found on high-end and handmade rugs.
- Tassel Fringe: Tassel fringe features clusters of fringe strands tied together to form tassels. This style can vary in length and thickness, creating a rich, decorative look, frequently used in both traditional and contemporary rug designs.
- Flat Fringe: Flat fringe is a simple and straightforward style where the fringe strands lie flat without any knots or twists. This style offers a clean and minimalist look, making it suitable for modern and casual rugs.
- Loop Fringe: Loop fringe is created by forming loops with the fringe strands instead of leaving them straight. This style adds texture and dimension to the rug, making it visually interesting, and can be found on both handmade and machine-made rugs.
- Macramé Fringe: Macramé fringe involves intricate knotting and weaving techniques to create detailed patterns within the fringe. This highly decorative style showcases skilled craftsmanship and is often used in artisanal and bohemian-style rugs.
- Cut Fringe: Cut fringe is a straightforward style where the fringe strands are cut to a uniform length without any additional decoration. This style is often used for a clean and modern look.
- Beaded Fringe: Beaded fringe incorporates beads into the fringe strands, adding a touch of embellishment and luxury. Beaded fringes are often used in high-end and custom rugs.
- Layered Fringe: Layered fringe features multiple layers of fringe strands, creating a fuller and more textured appearance. This style adds depth and richness to the rug, making it a focal point in the room.
Each fringe style offers a distinct look and feel, contributing to the rug’s overall aesthetic and character. At KIWI Services, we understand the importance of preserving and enhancing the beauty of your rug’s fringe, and we tailor our cleaning and repair techniques to suit the specific fringe style
Different Fabrics Used for Rug Fringes
Rug fringes, or tassels, are made from various materials, each with unique care needs. Understanding these materials helps in selecting the best cleaning methods. Here are some common fringe materials:
- Cotton: Cotton fringes are popular for their softness, durability, and ease of cleaning, used in both machine-woven and hand-woven rugs.
- Silk: Silk fringes are luxurious and found on high-end rugs like Persian and Oriental. They require delicate care to avoid damage.
- Wool: Wool fringes are durable and ideal for high-traffic areas but need specific cleaning solutions due to their natural oils.
- Synthetic Fibers: Synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic are stain-resistant and durable, commonly used in modern rugs, though less natural in feel.
- Blends: Blends combine materials like cotton and synthetics for added softness and durability.
- Linen: Linen fringes offer a natural, elegant look but are less common and require careful cleaning.
- Rayon: Rayon, or viscose, mimics silk and is a cost-effective alternative, needing careful cleaning to maintain its luster.
Each type of fringe material requires specific care and cleaning methods to ensure longevity and maintain the rug’s overall appearance. At KIWI Services, we tailor our cleaning techniques to suit the unique needs of your rug’s fringes, ensuring they remain beautiful and intact for years to come.
