Using this Brooklyn Shabby Chic Duvet Cover Set is a breeze. First, open the button closure at the foot end of the duvet cover and place your padded insert inside. The internal corner ties will keep the insert in place, so you don't have to worry about it shifting. When it comes to cleaning, just throw the duvet cover and shams in the washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle. Make sure to wash them separately. Don't use bleach as it can damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on low. Avoid ironing the set to keep the fabric in good condition. If your home washer or dryer is too small, take it to a commercial one. For the decorative pillows, spot - clean them when they get dirty. This way, your duvet cover set will stay beautiful and last for a long time.
