What are Double Rubs on Fabrics?

Double rubs are a way to measure the abrasion resistance and durability of a fabric. One back and forth motion counts as one double rub. This testing method is meant to mimic the “wear and tear” of everyday use. As a general rule of thumb, a fabric’s double rub count is a good testament to the recommended usage and application but make sure to ask about the specific job and make recommendations accordingly.
