Sophia Living | Care & Washing Guide
At Sophia Living, our pieces are crafted from the finest natural fabrics, designed to bring timeless elegance to your home. To ensure your linens, curtains, and tableware retain their beauty, texture, and shape for years to come, please follow our comprehensive care guide.

1. Curtains (Made-to-Measure)
Because bespoke curtains require exact dimensions and structured draping, they need the most delicate care.
* Cleaning: Professional Dry Clean Recommended. To prevent any natural fibre shrinkage and preserve the tailored drape, dry cleaning is the safest option.
* Ironing & Steaming: Iron on the reverse side using a warm setting while the fabric is slightly damp. Alternatively, use a handheld garment steamer once the curtains are hung to effortlessly remove creases.
* Daily Maintenance: Gently shake your curtains once a week to remove dust, or use the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner on a low setting.

2. Table Linens (Tablecloths & Runners)
Designed for everyday luxury and entertaining, our cotton and linen table lines are durable but love gentle care.
* Washing: Machine wash on a gentle or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Use a mild, eco-friendly liquid detergent.
* Stain Removal: Treat spills immediately. Blot (do not rub) the stain, and use a gentle, chlorine-free stain remover before washing * Drying : Line dry flat in the shade. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can weaken natural fibers and cause shrinkage.
* Ironing: For that crisp, boutique-hotel look, iron while the fabric is still damp using a hot/linen setting on the reverse side.

3. Cushions & Covers
Keeping your decorative accents plump, fresh, and beautifully textured.
* Washing: Remove the inner pad before cleaning. Machine wash the covers inside out on a delicate cycle at 30°C.
* Drying: Air dry flat. Do not tumble dry. * Cushion Pads: Plump your cushion inserts regularly to maintain their shape and loft. Refer to the specific care label on the inner pad for washing instructions.

4. Bed Linens (Sheets & Pillowcases)
Crafted for ultimate comfort and breathability, getting softer with every single wash.
* Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C on a standard cycle. Wash bed linens separately from clothing to prevent zippers or hooks from snagging the threads.
* Drying: Line drying is ideal for a fresh, crisp feel. If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat, gentle cycle, and remove promptly to minimize wrinkling.
* Ironing: Optional for a relaxed, lived-in look. For a pristine finish, iron on a medium-to-hot setting while slightly damp.

General Golden Rules for All Sophia Living Products
* Never Use Bleach: Harsh chemicals and optical brighteners will weaken natural cotton and linen fibres and fade original colour tones.
* Keep Out of Intense Direct Sunlight: When line drying, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh, direct sunlight to protect the fabric's rich pigments.
* Dark Colours: Always wash dark and vibrant colours separately from whites and neutrals to prevent colour transfer.
