Profile
Mr. Gerald Ziegler & Mrs. Barbara Ziegler started cleaning rugs in 1951 in Danbury, Connecticut. For approximately one year, the name of the company was Dun-Rite. It took about a year before one of their clients said to them “Who is Dun-Rite? I don’t know any Dun-Rite.” She told Jerry (Mr. Ziegler) if you’re going to work so hard get rid of that name and put your own name on the business. The Ziegler company has bore the family name for over 65 years now.
Mrs. Ziegler would often tell the story of how she and Jerry took a ride to Hartford Connecticut one day, to look at machinery for washing rugs, with four screaming kids in the car. Jerry purchased the washing equipment that same day.
