EMMANUEL TALAVERA
AKA "MANNY"
Manny is our full-time rug washer and the envy of everyone on TikTok who loves our “satisfying” rug wash videos who beg us for a job! Manny lived in Colorado and came here to visit his big brother, Jose, who was our BFF and employee for many years. When we lost an employee suddenly, Manny came to work the next day to “help us out” and never went back home. He is always on-time, has a great attitude and a huge cheesy smile. He loves all types of food, his sweet girlfriend, and he has jokes upon jokes which makes him fun to have around! Check out his epic bucket flips on our TikTok channel @rugworx.
