The General Authority for the Care of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque continues its efforts to maintain the cleanliness and quality of the carpets within the Grand Mosque. The carpets are an integral part of the pilgrim’s experience, with over 35,000 green carpets covering the mosque’s corridors and courtyards, distributed across 30 different locations. This number increases on Fridays and during peak seasons, providing vast and comfortable spaces for worshippers and pilgrims.
Carpet maintenance in the Grand Mosque follows a regular schedule that includes cleaning and sanitizing using modern, eco-friendly technologies. The care process extends beyond cleaning to include periodic replacement of the carpets to ensure worshippers’ comfort and maintain a high level of cleanliness at all times.
Each carpet undergoes a thorough inspection before being returned to the prayer areas, ensuring it is free from defects or damage that could affect its quality. This includes checking details such as colors, fabric, and edges to keep the carpets in optimal condition. Worshippers’ awareness of using the carpets for their intended purpose is also a key factor in maintaining their quality for as long as possible, ensuring comfort during prayers.
The General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques continuously develops services related to the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, ensuring that visitors experience comfort and ease, with a focus on quality and sustainability in all operations.
