The fringe on your Persian or Oriental rug is a byproduct of the weaving process of rugs. This is a feature that many rug enthusiasts enjoy about their rugs. Persian rugs are known for their durability and beauty, making them a popular choice for homeowners. However, when the fringe starts to look dirty or dingy on your Persian rug, cleaning it can be a hassle.
Persian & Oriental Rug Materials
Persian and Oriental rugs come in a variety of materials, for cleaning purposes it is important to know what materials make up your Persian rug. Typically oriental rugs are made of three different materials: cotton, wool, and silk. While cotton is a versatile material, cleaning methods for silk and wool will require a gentler cleaner. This is because harsh chemicals can damage the fibers and harm the fringe.
How To Know When You Need To Clean The Fringes
Eventually, all rug fringes will wear out from normal use and care. Just like how you should clean your oriental rug every 3-5 years, the same goes for cleaning the fringes. If your rug is placed in a high-traffic area, it is more susceptible to wearing out and discoloring the fringes. A professional can renew the appearance of your rug by replacing or re-fringing the old, worn rug fringes. When hiring a professional they can make sure your rug does not need further repairs.

Do Persian Rugs Need To Be Professionally Cleaned?
Persian and Oriental rugs are made up of fibers that are especially delicate and can easily become damaged or sprouted if not properly cleaned. Professional rug cleaning not only removes dirt and stains but also helps to protect the wool strands and keep your rug strong and beautiful. A professional rug cleaner can bring your rug back to the original state it was in when you bought it.
