Question: Why are the fringes of my Oriental rug falling apart?
Answer: Most often, this occurs due to normal foot traffic and vacuuming.
Also, a common practice with many modern Oriental rugs is the "chemical washing" of the rug after weaving is completed. The rugs are saturated with a chlorine bleach solution to mute the colors and/or give the wool a shiny appearance which weakens the fiber.
