WINNETKA AREA RUG FRINGE REPAIR
Each individual has an opinion on area rug fringe. Some love it and think it adds a nice finish and comfortable touch to the rug, others despise it and feel it does nothing but collect dust and dirt. Fringe comes in a variety of lengths, ranging from about a half inch to a few inches long and features twisted fibers that extend from the seam of the rug, to raw edges. To the first opinion, the fringe lover: fringe can certainly add a finishing touch to the rug. However, the latter is also correct, fringe is the first part of the rug to show stains and dirt, and to fray and become torn. The longer the fringe, the easier it is to damage. When you think about it, this makes perfect sense. The fringe fibers move more freely than any other part of the rug, and this extended movement causes significant strain and deterioration of the unfinished edges of the fringe.
Rug Fringe Repair In Winnetka, ILAs we mentioned on our Fringe Cleaning page, the upside is that fringe is one of the easiest parts of a rug to clean yourself. Unfortunately, many rug owners get frustrated with the messy fibers and do not think they can repair them, so they remove them entirely, clipping them off the rug at the base. If you truly never wanted the fringe to begin with, this is an option, but it may ruin the magnificence of the rug. However, if you are doing it because you feel the fringe is past the point of repair, wait until you consult with us! There is almost nothing we can’t fix with fringe, and we guarantee we can get your rug looking fresh and neat in short order. If you are dealing with not only dirty fibers, but also torn or frayed edges, you will absolutely need to employ an expert restoration and repair service, like Winnetka Oriental Rug Pros, to mend and repair the fringe before further damage occurs. Attempting to clean a damaged rug results in horror stories and occasionally in permanent damage.

Rug Fringe Repair
When we take an area rug to mend, the first thing we assess is if the fringe has been created by hand or machine made. Second, we need to establish what material the fringe is created from and if it is knotted, braided, twisted, or tied. These each have a different aesthetic and to keep your rug looking its best, you want to match the type exactly. Our repair services offer authentic restoration techniques mastered by our expert craftsmen; you won’t be able to tell the difference from the original! We also attach new fringe to your rug to disguise any missing pieces, and we mend any frayed, crimped, bunched or broken pieces. We also make sure our fringes are secured on both ends to prevent future wear and tear from occurring. The more compact the fibers are, the stronger they are. Finally, we will recolor fringe when necessary and restore the original luster and brilliance to them before returning the rug to you.
