Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
In scabies, its just enough to treat your clothes, beddings and towels used in last three days. You can wash these in boiling water and dry in sun/dryer or you can get these drycleaned.
No special treatment is required for curtains, rugs, carpets or furnitures.
Hope this helped.
Take care
