The fringe is the most delicate part of a rug. Fringe is the name for the threads that hang off each vertical end of the rug. Fringe can be damaged by foot traffic, pets, and vacuuming.

Robotic vacuum cleaners have a tendency to “eat” the fringe and edges of your rug- ripping and tearing indiscriminately.
