What Is a Prayer Rug (Namazlık)?

A prayer rug (namazlık) is a clean, specially woven rug used for prostration during prayer. Traditional prayer rugs feature an arched motif at the center representing the mihrab niche, which symbolizes the direction of the qibla in a mosque; when the prayer rug is laid out, the tip of this mihrab is positioned toward the qibla, making it easier for the worshipper to find the correct direction. The standard single-person prayer rug size, 80 x 125 cm, provides enough space for the head, hands, and knees to rest comfortably during prostration. In the Topkapı Prayer Rug Series, motifs inspired by traditional Ottoman-Turkish carpet art, including lamps (mosque lamps), columns, and flowers, are intricately incorporated into the mihrab pattern. These centuries-old motifs give the prayer 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 naturally sourced fiber obtained from the cellulose of trees and plants. It is also known as a “regenerated cellulose fiber” because natural cellulose is processed and regenerated into fiber during production. It stands out with 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 vibrant shimmer that changes with movement, and becomes softer over time. In the Topkapı Prayer Rug Series, 100% viscose combined with a dense 2,000,000-knot weave creates a fine, lustrous, and highly detailed surface; the shimmer of the viscose makes the delicate details and color transitions of the classic mihrab pattern especially prominent in well-lit spaces.

How Should a Viscose Prayer Rug Be Cleaned?

Topkapı Prayer Rug 100% viscose prayer rugs should only be cleaned by professional rug-cleaning companies. Since viscose is a naturally sourced (regenerated) cellulose fiber, it is sensitive to water and excessive moisture. Please avoid the following: machine washing, washing at home with detergent, scrubbing with a wet brush, and steam cleaning. For daily care, it is sufficient to use a low-suction vacuum cleaner and gently remove 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; this will help preserve its silky luster, fine pattern, and vibrant colors for a long time.

Protect Your Rug’s Elegance
A careful care routine should be adopted to preserve the original splendor and silky texture of Carpetdocia’s handwoven, natural-fiber creations—pieces that add value to your living space—for generations to come.

Immediate Action and Liquid Spills
When a liquid is spilled, timing is the most critical factor. Using a clean, slightly damp cloth, remove the liquid from the surface by gently blotting only—never rub. Always work in the direction of the rug’s pile (the natural direction in which the fibers lie). Rubbing can damage the structure 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 vacuum cleaners with low suction power. High-powered upright vacuums and stiff brushes can damage the natural structure of handwoven yarns. To balance the natural fibers’ reaction to light and prevent uneven color changes (fading), we recommend changing the direction of your rug every 2 to 6 months.

Expert Care (Professional Cleaning)
Delicate materials 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 deep cleaning, seek assistance only from professional rug-care centers specializing in natural fibers.
