To use this comforter set, simply put the comforter on your bed and arrange the shams on your pillows. You can add a touch of style by placing the decorative pillows on top. When it comes to cleaning, the comforter set can be machine washed in a large-capacity commercial washer and dryer. However, for the decorative pillows, it's best to spot clean them. Keep in mind that the antimicrobial treatment helps keep the fabric fresh, but avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage it. With proper care, this set will stay soft and beautiful for a long time.
