Using your Madison Park Essentials Nimbus 5 Piece Comforter Set is a breeze. First, if your set comes in rolled or vacuumed packaging, steam iron it to remove any wrinkles. Then, simply place the comforter on your bed and arrange the shams. Put the flat sheet on top of the mattress, followed by the fitted sheet which fits up to 16 - inch mattresses (14 inches for Twin). Slip the pillowcases onto your pillows. For maintenance, since it's machine washable, you can easily keep it clean. Just follow the normal machine - wash instructions. Remember, the antimicrobial treatment helps keep it fresh, but regular washing will maintain its best condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as they may damage the fabric. With proper care, your bedding set will stay in great shape for years to come.
