Why did the customer contact us?

This customer had two Turkish rugs that required cleaning along with new fringe and binding.

The field was fine and no reweaving was required

Fringe and binding is something that requires replacement on a rug every 20 years and that was clearly the case on both rugs.

One rug was an example of a newly made Turkish Ziegler Oushak

One rug was an example of an antique Turkish rug, which was more worn

Here’s a more professional breakdown of the steps Jafri Rug Restoration followed during the cleaning and repair process:

1. Initial Assessment:
A thorough inspection of the rug to evaluate its condition, identifying any areas requiring special attention such as wear, stains, or damage to the fringe and binding.
2. Soaking, dusting and drying: The rug is carefully dusted to remove accumulated dirt and debris. In some cases, dry cleaning methods are used to ensure delicate fibers aren’t damaged.
Spot Treatment: Stains and spots are treated with specialized cleaners to lift and remove them without harming the rug’s colors or texture.
Washing: Depending on the rug's material and condition, a gentle washing process is applied, using water and eco-friendly detergents to restore the fibers.
3. Fringe Repair and Restoration:
Fringe Cleaning: The fringe is removed prior to cleaning Fringe Repair: Any damaged or worn-out fringe is repaired or replaced with matching fibers to restore its original appearance.
Fringe Reinforcement: If necessary, additional reinforcement is added to ensure the fringe remains secure and intact.
4. Binding Repair:
Inspection of Binding: The binding is checked for any fraying, damage, or loose threads.
Reinforcement or Replacement: If needed, the binding is carefully re-sewn or replaced with matching material to restore the rug’s edges and prevent further damage.
5. Final Inspection and Quality Check:
The rug is inspected again after cleaning and repairs to ensure all work meets high-quality standards. Any remaining imperfections are addressed before the rug is returned to the owner.
6. Restoration Completion:
Once all repairs and cleaning are complete, the rug is carefully dried, flattened, and restored to its original shape, ready for display or use.
These steps ensure that the rug is not only clean but also structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.
