Using this comforter set is easy. Just spread the comforter on your bed and arrange the shams and decorative pillows as you like. The bed skirt can be neatly placed around the edges of the bed frame. When it comes to cleaning, the set is machine - washable, but make sure to spot - clean the decorative pillows to keep their embroidered details intact. Avoid using harsh detergents that could damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting to maintain the softness of the cotton. Store the set in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any mold or mildew growth.
