Cleaning Persian Rug Fringe

Cleaning a Persian rug is easily accomplished by vacuuming, but what about the fringe? By following these steps you will have a clean fringe in no time.

Step 1 - Protect Your Floor

Before cleaning your Persian rug, place a garbage bag with a towel over it underneath the fringe. This will keep the dirt off of the floor beneath, not only protecting it, but making clean up easier.

Step 2 - Comb Fringe

Gently comb or brush the fringe to dislodge any dirt or debris.

Step 3 - Clean Fringe

Create a cleaning solution made from one ounce ammonia (non-sudsing) and eight ounces warm water.

Using a clean, white sponge or cloth, dip it in the cleaning solution and then gently wipe over the fringe.

Step 4 - Rinse Fringe

Create a rinsing solution made from one ounce vinegar and eight ounces of warm water.

Using another clean, white cloth or sponge, rinse out the fringe.

Still Dirty?

If the fringe is still dirty, repeat the last two steps to get it clean.
