What Is a Prayer Rug (Prayer Mat)?
A prayer rug (prayer mat) is a clean, specially woven rug that is placed beneath the worshipper during prayer. Traditional prayer rugs feature an arched motif at the center representing the mihrab niche, which indicates the direction of the mosque's qibla. When laying out the rug, position the tip of the mihrab toward the qibla to make it easier to find the correct direction for prayer. The standard size for a single-person prayer mat, 80 x 125 cm, provides ample space for the head, hands, and knees during prostration. The mihrab pattern in the Topkapı Prayer Rug Collection features finely crafted lantern (mosque lamp), column, and floral motifs drawn from traditional Ottoman-Turkish carpet art. These centuries-old motifs give the rug both spiritual meaning and aesthetic depth, making the Topkapı Prayer Rug an elegant choice for daily prayer, a trousseau, or a gift.
What Is Viscose?
Viscose is a fiber derived from the cellulose of trees and plants. It is also known as “regenerated cellulose fiber” because natural cellulose is processed and turned back into fiber during production. It stands out for its silk-like softness, natural luster, and silky surface that reflects light. Unlike fully synthetic fibers such as acrylic or polypropylene, viscose reflects light from multiple angles, creating a vivid sheen that changes with movement, and it softens with use. In the Topkapı Prayer Rug Collection, 100% viscose combines with a dense weave of 2,000,000 knots to create a fine, lustrous, highly detailed surface. The sheen of viscose brings out the fine details and color transitions of the classic mihrab pattern, especially in well-lit spaces.

How Do You Clean a Viscose Prayer Rug?
Topkapı Prayer Rugs made from 100% viscose should only be cleaned by professional rug-cleaning companies. Since viscose is a cellulose fiber derived from natural sources (regenerated), it is sensitive to water and excessive moisture. Please avoid machine washing, washing with detergent at home, scrubbing with a wet brush, and steam cleaning. For daily care, use a vacuum cleaner on a low-suction setting and gently blot any stains with a slightly damp cloth. When storing the prayer rug for an extended period, fold it and keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to help preserve its silky sheen, fine pattern, and vibrant colors.

Protect Its Elegance
To preserve the original splendor and silky texture of Carpetdocia’s handwoven creations made with natural fibers—which add value to your living space—for generations, a careful care routine is essential.
Immediate Action and Liquid Spills
When a liquid spills, timing is critical. Using a clean, slightly damp cloth, blot the liquid gently from the surface without rubbing. Always work in the direction of the rug’s pile (the natural direction in which the fibers lie). Rubbing can damage the shape of delicate fibers such as TENCEL™ and viscose. If in doubt, stop immediately.
Routine Care and Light Balance
For your weekly cleaning routine, always use a vacuum cleaner with low suction. High-powered upright vacuums and stiff brushes can damage the natural structure of handwoven yarns. To balance how natural yarns react to light and prevent uneven changes in color (fading), we recommend rotating your rug every 2 to 6 months.
Expert Care (Professional Cleaning)
Fine textures such as handwoven fibers, TENCEL™, viscose, and New Zealand wool should not come into contact with household chemical cleaners. These products can irreversibly damage the rug’s silky sheen and structural integrity. For a thorough clean, seek help only from professional rug care centers specializing in natural fibers.
