To use this bedding set, first, fluff it up if it comes rolled or compressed. Spread the comforter on your bed, with the buffalo check print facing up or the smaller checker pattern if you prefer. Put on the matching shams and place the decorative pillow at the top of the bed. Make the bed with the printed grey sheet set, tucking the fitted sheet under the mattress (remember it fits up to 14 - inch deep mattresses, 12 inches for Twin). For care, you can easily machine - wash the comforter and sheets. Just spot - clean the decorative pillow. If there are wrinkles, use a steam iron to make the fabric smooth again. This set has an anti - microbial treatment, but it's still a good idea to keep your bedroom clean to maintain its freshness and longevity.
