This is a rug I cleaned a few weeks ago that had severe fringe damage.
With all rugs that have fringes you have to be very careful when you vaccuum them not to let the beater bar of the vacuum go over the fringes. This causes alot of damage and eventually the fringes will start to come apart.
Fringes are what is called the Warp thread of the rug. Thi is the cotton or wool foundation of the rug that travels up and down the rug. Vertical. The Weft is the cotton or wool thread that runs left to right. Weft to right is an easy way to remember this. So if you are not careful with the fringes you will be damaging the foundation of the rug.
