Fringes: Cleaning, Repair, Trimming, and Removal

Oriental rugs are as unique as the people who buy them, and as such are often slightly altered to fit that person's tastes.  From hanging to binding replacement, many things can be done to an Oriental carpet that can change its functionality and appearance, but today we wish to talk about just one: fringe alteration.  Here at Main Street Oriental rugs, we offer a variety of ways you can customize your fringe.  Old fringes can be cleaned, yet worn ones require a small trimming to restore them to beauty.  Badly damaged fringes require a complete re-weaving in the area of damage or even an entire replacement of the fringe side.  Some modern rugs don't even have fringes, so some rug owners take their Oriental rug to have the fringe completely removed.  Fringe on many older Persian rugs are overcast, making this a popular alternative to traditional fringe design.  Finally, if a fringe is too long for a customer's liking, we can trim it to a more appropriate length.  For all of your rug cleaning, repair and alteration services, Main Street Oriental Rugs has the resources and experience to handle all area carpet problems.
