During the festive season especially in mosques where it is full with our fellow worshippers day and night. Here are some key considerations and tips for cleaning carpets in mosques, particularly during festive seasons like Ramadhan, Eid, or other significant times:

1. Cleaning Products

• Eco-Friendly Products: Since mosques are places of worship, it's ideal to use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for both the environment and the community.

• Antimicrobial Solutions: Especially in high-traffic areas, consider using antimicrobial solutions to help keep carpets free of germs and bacteria.

2. Professional Services

• For large mosques, it might be practical to hire professional cleaning services. These services often use industrial equipment that can clean carpets more efficiently and deeply than home-grade machines.

3. Timely Cleaning

• Before Major Events: Cleaning should be done before major events like Eid prayers or the start of Ramadan, as these times often see an influx of worshippers.

• Ongoing Maintenance: Consider implementing a regular cleaning schedule (weekly, monthly) so that the carpets stay in good condition throughout the year.

4. Post-Cleaning Care

• Drying: Ensure the carpets are properly dried to prevent mold or mildew growth. Depending on the method of cleaning, this can take several hours to a day.

• Ventilation: Ensure the mosque is well-ventilated while cleaning to speed up drying and to improve air quality.

5. Special Considerations for Prayer Spaces

• Prayer Rugs: If the mosque has individual prayer rugs, make sure they are cleaned regularly too, especially before large prayer gatherings.

• Preserving Carpet Integrity: If the carpets are old or fragile, use gentle cleaning methods to avoid damaging them.

Proper carpet cleaning during the festive season helps maintain a clean, welcoming, and hygienic environment for worshippers and can enhance the overall mosque experience.
