Using this 8-piece bedding set is easy. Just put the comforter on your bed, add the quilt on top for a layered look, and place the matching shams on your pillows. Then, finish it off with the two decorative pillows. For cleaning, you can machine wash the comforter, quilt, and shams. But for the pillows, it's best to spot clean them. This set is made to last, but to keep it in top condition, avoid using harsh detergents and high heat when washing. With proper care, you can enjoy this elegant bedding set for many years.
