FAQ

About Our Rugs

What is Double? How does it work?
Our rug system is simple and uncomplicated, designed to come apart in two layers for easy cleaning or machine washing whenever you need it.
What are your Double rugs made of?
Our top layers are made from a 100% recycled polyester, and our base layers are made from 100% sustainably sourced thermoplastic rubber and recycled polyester.

All our rug bases are constructed from a yoga-mat like material, for a nonslip and comfortable footing.
Where are Double rugs made?
All of our rugs are designed and developed at our headquarters in Australia and manufactured in China to provide the most advanced technology for superior craftsmanship and long lasting durability.
Why are there corners on the top layer?
The corners are designed to add weight and prevent the rug from curling up at the edges.
Do you have a store or showroom that I can visit?
As of now, we’re exclusively selling our products online. However, in the future, we may offer sample swatches to assist customers during their selection process.
Will the colour and design vary from the photos online?
We do our best to accurately represent our rug colours and designs throughout our site. Naturally, due to varying screen and monitor settings, some colours may appear slightly different in person than as represented online.
Do I need to have a Double rug base?
Yes, Double's top layer is only effective when combined with a rug base from Double due to our interlocking technology and Australia-specific sizes. Double's innovative two-layer system interlocks to create a nonslip, durable and machine washable rug. At this time, Double Rug Tops are not compatible with other rug bases.
Can I only purchase the Double Rug Top Layer?
If you have previously purchased the Standard Double Rug System — which includes a Rug Base and Rug Top — you can keep things fresh by purchasing an additional, interchangeable Rug Top. As long as the Rug Top is the same size as the base, it can be swapped out as many times as you like. 
Double Rug Tops are only compatible with the Double Rug Bases at this time. If you do not have a Double Rug Base, you should purchase a system first. 
Will your rugs play nice with tiny humans and fur friends?
We promise our rugs are the perfect playdate for kids, pets, wine glasses, and busy feet. They're ready to handle spills, thrills, and everything in between. So go ahead, let the fun begin - these rugs know how to play well with others.
I want a rug but I don't want my place to look like my nan's. Help?
No worries, we've got you covered! Our rugs feature modern designs and on-trend colors that will give your space a contemporary edge. Lots of texture and geometric shapes - zero frills.
Can your rugs hang outside with me?
Absolutely! Many of our rug collections are suitable for outdoor use on patios, porches, poolsides, and more. Made from fade resistant, weather-proof fabrics, our outdoor rugs add style while withstanding the elements. Just look for the "outdoor safe" tag to find patio and porch ready designs that will transform your alfresco living space.

Rug Care & Cleaning

How do I wash or clean my rug?
All our rugs are 100% machine washable and easy care, despite variation in texture. Please refer to your rug style’s specific care label instructions included in your package.

For any major accidents, remove the top layer and wash immediately. Minor spills can be spot cleaned with a mild, non-bleach detergent.
Is my rug machine-washable?
Yes, all Double rugs are designed to be machine washable by separating the outer washable top layer from the base layer. Please refer to your rug style’s specific care label instructions included in your package.
How do I dry my rug top layer?
Tumble dry on a low spin setting; alternatively, hang to air-dry.
Tips for your Chenille top layer
Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle using mild, non-bleach detergent. Hang to air-dry.
Tips for your New Jute top layer
Don’t use sharp instruments (like a metal rake) on the rug as it may damage the woven fibres.
Tips for your Highland, Cotton Pile, or Shearling top layer
Use caution when washing and drying, as high heat may damage the fibres of your rug. Use a rotating bristle brush as an alternative to fluff up the pile after drying.
Vacuum Guide
• Regularly vacuum your rug to keep dust, fur, and other allergens at bay.

• Use a vacuum setting appropriate for rugs.

• Start by first vacuuming the underside of the rug, followed by the correct side up.

• Avoid vacuuming any tassels, as these can get stuck.
Are your rugs really as easy to clean as you say?
We promise, no exaggeration here. Just toss 'em in the wash and let the machine work its magic. Our rugs come out looking fresh, fluffy, and ready for more.
What's the deal with "machine washable" rugs anyway?
We know it sounds odd if you're used to traditional rugs. But our patented 2-in-1 system allows our rugs' top layer to be peeled off, then tossed in the wash just like your clothes. It's a game changer for keeping your floors fresh!

Setting Up Your Rug

How To Set Up Your Rug: For Smaller and Larger Rugs
Included in the package:

  • A base layer that acts as the foundation of the rug.

  • A cover layer that displays the design of the rug.


Instructions:

  1. Our smaller rugs are quick and easy to assemble. For larger rugs, we recommend setting up with someone there to help.

  2. Warm your iron in advance to a low heat and keep nearby, so it’s ready by the time your rug is assembled.

  3. Prepare your environment. Remove any furniture, and allow for clear space around you to easily manoeuvre and unroll the rug.

  4. Inside the carton will be 2 pieces — your rug base and rug top.

  5. Unroll both pieces one by one and place them side by side.

  6. Remove your rug top from its recycled plastic sleeve.


    • Re-roll your rug top lengthways, with the design facing inwards.

    • Position the rolled rug top at the shorter edge of the rug base. Ensure the edge of the rug top is perfectly aligned to the edge of the rug

    • Gently and slowly unroll the rug top over the rug base, smoothing as you go



  7. Gently iron the top of your rug, focusing on any folds or creases.

  8. Rearrange the room.

  9. Take a photo and post online, tagging @double.online.au.

  10. Enjoy no worries living!
