Mosque carpets are one of the most elegant and prettiest carpets to exist. The beauty these carpets carry within themselves is just unmatchable and no other carpet can take over them. Besides this, these carpets also hold a religious importance due to which they hold a very special place in every Muslim heart.
Cleaning these carpets and maintaining them is one of the most important things to do and this is what we will be discussing in this guide. So, Let’s get started.
Tips For Maintaining A Mosque Carpet
When you purchase a mosque carpet from a trustworthy business, the carpet will have a label on the reverse with some quick cleaning instructions. We should look into those instructions before moving further.
- Protect From Sunlight
Avoid Mosque carpets from direct sunlight exposure otherwise they become fade with time. You can hang curtains or blinds right in front of Mosque’s windows to prevent carpets from getting fade.
- Protect From Insects
Try to expose the back of Mosque’s carpet to the sun at least once a week. This is necessary because the dark space behind the carpet is a great area for mold to grow and the back of the carpet is a great spot for all types of little insects. All these detrimental elements that affect the health and longevity of the carpet can be efficiently eliminated by sunlight.
- Protect From Water
Avoid putting any type of pot on or adjacent to the carpet as much as you can because the water in the pots is the main cause of carpet rot.
- Storage
The carpet must be rolled up and filled with naphthalene. Also, if possible, cover it with a cotton or linen cloth to preserve it from deteriorating while it is in storage.
- Spread Carpet On A Flat Surface
The Mosque carpets should be laid out on a smooth, homogeneous surface, and the ground upon which they are to be distributed should not be dirty.
- Leave Doors And Windows Open
Make sure to leave the doors and windows open if you plan to clean or dust the mosque or prayer hall to prevent cleaning dust from getting on the carpets.
- Immediate Repair
Make sure to have the carpet repaired by a carpet weaver as soon as it is damaged, such as when a section of it becomes soiled, to prevent the damage from spreading over time.
- Protect From Spilling
Clean up the area right away if food or drinks (such as soft drinks) spill on the carpet otherwise you could end up ruining the carpet.
By following all these tips properly, you can keep the mosque carpets last forever. These carpets are very beautiful and will look even more pretty if you maintain them properly and clean them whenever required and you will see yourself how nice and fresh they will turn out to be after every clean. Happy cleaning!
