Your Local Oriental Rug Cleaning Specialists
Gentle Genie Rug Care is a family business, locally founded by Paul, with help from his wife, Linda, and office manager and close family friend, Debbie Penny. Paul has been part of the cleaning industry since the early 1980’s.
Please note that Paul is no longer the owner of Gentle Genie Rug Care.
Ownership now resides with Eric, Livingston & Larry, remaining committed to providing the same exceptional service and care for your rugs.
Our mission is to provide our customers a healthy indoor environment by removing many indoor contaminates such as dirt, odors, and irritants that can trigger eye sensitivity, upper respiratory, and allergic reactions by using superior technology and processes while restoring and rejuvenating your rug to its best possible condition to preserve its beauty.
Area rugs are a special part of your home. Maybe your rug is a family heirloom, an antique Oriental or Persian rug, that has been passed down from one generation to the next. Maybe your rug is new but will become that treasured heirloom for your children and grandchildren. Maybe you spent hours or days or weeks looking for that one perfectly beautiful rug. Perhaps you fell in love with a rug that was beautiful although not terribly expensive and decorated a whole room around its beautiful colors, from the pictures on the walls to the nick-knacks on the bookshelves, making it virtually impossible to replace. Whatever the reason you love your rug, we at Gentle Genie understand and want to help you give it the best care possible so it can be enjoyed by you and your family for years and generations to come. Our team at Gentle Genie Rug Care is committed to providing your rug with the attention it deserves.
With over 20 years of experience in rug care, we have washed and cleaned thousands of carpets and rugs with quality in mind. This has made us the area’s leading rug cleaning experts. Our reputation ensures that you can trust our company to provide you with the most outstanding service experience.
We are experienced in all types of fibers and soiling conditions, no matter how unusual they may be. All work is done in our own plant by our highly trained technicians and repairers. Pick-up and delivery service is available. Get in touch today and experience the magic.
How Our Process Works
Our meticulous process begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll assess your rug’s age, origin, fiber content, and construction to determine the safest, most effective cleaning method. From gentle hand-washing techniques for delicate hand-knotted antiques to advanced soil-lift treatments for high-traffic synthetics, every rug is treated as the unique work of art it is.
At Gentle Genie, we believe in responsible rug care. That’s why we use Eco-friendly, pH-balanced detergents and natural neutralizers that are tough on dirt and odors but gentle on fibers and safe for your home. Our state-of-the-art facility employs water-recycling systems and low-impact drying racks to reduce waste and energy use.
As active members of the Orange County community, we’re proud to support local charities and cultural organizations that celebrate our region’s rich textile heritage. When you choose Gentle Genie Rug Care, you’re not just receiving premier service—you’re partnering with a team that values craftsmanship, sustainability, and family.Ready to protect your investment and keep your heirloom looking its best?
