Wyzenbeek

A U.S. abrasion test that produces the double-rub fabric rating.

Definition

Wyzenbeek testing rubs fabric with cotton duck until wear shows. The resulting double-rub count is the number you see on many American upholstery tags. Martindale is a different European abrasion method—do not mix the scores.
