Hi Dan

Place rug, or at least the fringed area, on a mat or drop sheet. Pre spray well with chosen solution, I find a Micro-Splitting solution to be the best. Agitate with a hand brush with the fringe and across the "webbing" rinse well with an upholstery or low moisture tool. Extra drying strokes. If fringes are white, they will be slightly greyish whilst damp but dry better. They can also be bleached but this may lead to fibre damage.

Safe and happy cleaning:)

Seen Steve Carpenter work wonders on tassels with white vinegar solution
Hopefully he will come in and remind me at the same time :

Acetic acid (white vinegar ) is a mild bleaching agent (not one of the type that Ken wisely recommended to avoid) and can be used as a rinse to help prevent celulostic browning of fringe-tips.
