A rug is configured from a cover attached to an underlying, non-slip, non-absorbent mat by an interlocking mechanical connection. The interlocking mechanical connection is formed in a first embodiment by hook and loop material of the type sold under the trademark VELCRO, and in a second embodiment by a layer of grit material on the mat, and in a third embodiment by a resinous material which has projections that interlock with the bottom surface of the cover. When it is desired to separate the cover from the mat, the cover is simply pulled and stripped away from the mat so that the cover may be washed in a washing machine and the mat may also be manually washed or otherwise cleaned. If desired, the cover may be replaced with covers of different designs or textures.

1. A rug for placement on a floor, the rug comprising: a cover having a cover top surface and a cover bottom surface, the cover bottom surface having a cover peripheral area and a cover central area; a mat having a mat top surface and a mat bottom surface, the mat top and mat bottom surfaces being substantially planar, the mat top surface having a mat peripheral area and a mat central area, the mat bottom surface exposing non-slip material for frictionally gripping and that portion of the surface of such floor covered by the mat, a peripheral fastening material secured to the cover bottom surface in the cover peripheral area, and a peripheral fastening material secured to the mat top surface in the mat peripheral area, the peripheral fastening material on the cover engaging the peripheral fastening material on the mat for detachably connecting the peripheral area of the cover to the peripheral area of the mat with a holding force operative to keep the cover and the mat connected in an overlying relationship and to prevent the cover slipping relative to the mat, until it is desired to separate the cover and mat, the cover being removable from the mat by applying to the cover a stripping force transversely to the respective surfaces of the mat and the cover to separate the cover from the mat. 2. A rug for placement on a floor, the rug comprising: a cover comprising a polyester fabric and having a top surface and a bottom surface each coated with polypropylene, the bottom surface of the cover having a peripheral area and a central area; a mat having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top and bottom surfaces of the mat being substantially planar, the top surface of the mat having a peripheral area and a central area, the bottom surface of the mat exposing non-slip material for frictionally gripping that portion of the surface of such floor covered by the mat; a peripheral fastening material secured to the peripheral area of the mat for detachably connecting the peripheral area of the cover to the peripheral area of the mat with a holding force operative to keep the cover and the mat connected in an overlying relationship and to prevent the cover from slipping relative to the mat, until it is desired to separate the cover and mat, the cover being removable from the mat by applying to the cover a stripping force transversely to the respective surfaces of the cover and the mat to separate the cover from the mat. 3. A rug for placement on a floor, the rug comprising: a cover having a cover top surface and a cover bottom surface;a mat having a mat top surface for facing the cover bottom surface and a non-slip mat bottom surface for facing such floor; the cover bottom surface and the mat top surface each having thereon a respective releasable fastening material for contact with each other to releasably attach the cover to the mat and to prevent the cover from slipping relative to the mat, the cover being manually strippable from the mat by applying thereto a stripping force transversely to the respective surfaces of the cover and the mat. 4. The rug according to claim 3 wherein the releasable fastening material comprises hook material on one of the bottom surface of the cover and the top surface of the mat and loop material on the other of the bottom surface of the cover and the top surface of the mat. 5. The rug according to claim 3 wherein the releasable fastening material comprises grippable material on one of the bottom surface of the cover and the top surface of the mat and gripping elements on the other of the bottom surface of the cover and the top surface of the mat. 6. The rug according to claim 3 wherein the releasable fastening material is a resinous material having a mechanical gripping texture, the material being applied directly to both the top surface and the bottom surface of the mat. 7. The rug according to claim 6, wherein the top surface of the mat comprises a plastic film with outwardly projecting microscopic projections, and the plastic film is directly adhered to the top surface of the mat. 8. The rug according to claim 6, wherein the resinous material is dispersed onto the mat in fluid or particulate form and cured. 9. The rug according to claim 6, wherein the mat comprises a plastic film that is directly adhered to the top surface of the mat and has a resinous pattern thereon. 10. The rug according to claim 3 wherein the mat is non-absorbent. 11. The rug according to claim 3 wherein the bottom surface of the cover is mechanically interlocked with the top surface of the mat by the releasable fastening material. 12. The rug according to claim 1 or claim 3 wherein respective ones of the releasable fastening material comprise an integral part of the bottom surface of the cover and an integral part of the top surface of the mat. 13. The rug according to claim 3 wherein respective ones of the releasable fastening material are disposed on substantially the entire cover bottom surface and on substantially the entire mat top surface. 14. The rug according to claim 1, claim 2 or claim 3 wherein the cover bottom surface has a peripheral cover area and a central cover area, the releasable fastening material on the cover bottom surface is concentrated in the peripheral cover area relative to the central cover area, the mat top surface has a peripheral mat area and a central mat area, and the releasable fastening material on the mat top surface is concentrated in the peripheral mat area relative to the central mat area.
