Carpets R Us June 26, 2007 - Antalya, Turkey - With temperatures reaching up to 47 degrees Celsius, Antalya has found a new industry, carpet fading. Antalya, which is known as a tourist resort, is now finding a high demand for its hot sun. People from Turkey, Russia, Moldova and other countries in the region have started sending their carpets to Turkey to get their colors faded by the sun. Thousands of carpets have been laid out under the sun and will stay there for two months. The reason Antalya has become so popular for this type of work is because the fading process usually takes four months.
