Protect your valuable rugs from silent destroyers—moths and other rug-eating insects. At Gentle Genie Rug Care, we offer specialized moth and insect protection treatments designed to safeguard your rugs from irreversible damage.Wool and natural fiber rugs are especially vulnerable to moth larvae, which feed on the fibers and leave behind thinning patches and holes.
Our expert team applies a gentle, non-toxic insect repellent treatment that acts as a long-lasting barrier—discouraging insects from nesting and feeding. This treatment is especially important for rugs in low-traffic areas, in storage, or rarely used. Combined with professional cleaning, it ensures your rugs are not only clean but also preserved for years to come.
Our moth protection service is safe for homes with pets and children, and we tailor every treatment to the specific fiber content of your rug. Whether you’re protecting an heirloom Oriental rug or a fine wool area rug, we’ve got you covered. Don’t wait for signs of damage—prevent it.

Our Rug Cleaning Process
We’re proud of our 8-step immersion cleaning process. It uses the same cold-water hand-washing techniques as museums… and a thousand years of tradition.
- Pre-inspection to determine the type of fiber, pile density, type of weave and overall condition. We also test color fastness.
- Dusting is actually the most important step, removing soil before it cakes during washing. We use a special vibrating dusting machine, followed by thorough vacuuming on both sides.
- Odor removal (not masking) as needed for pet, smoke, mildew and other odors that aren’t removed by normal cleaning. We use specialized, gentle products.
- Cleaning, adjusted for different fibers and constructions. Always by hand, always one at at time to avoid transfer, using pH balanced cleansers. We’ll also attend attend to stain and spot removal.
- Rinsing using soft water without chlorine. We “river rinse” with constantly flowing water until it’s absolutely clear with no residues to cause fading, discoloration, erosion, or premature re-soiling.
- Grooming involves brushing in the direction of the pile for a uniform texture and light reflection for maximum beauty. We also de-tangle and arrange fringe.
- Drying begins with rugs laid flat to avoid bleed and browning. Next they’re then hung in a thermostat-controlled drying room with gentle air circulation. We use a moisture detection probe to determine when the process is complete.
- Re-inspection to make sure it’s as clean as possible. If not we’ll repeat steps as needed .
