Using your Cairo Artisan 3 - Piece Cotton Jacquard Duvet Set is a breeze. First, place your duvet insert inside the cover and secure it using the four inner ties. Then, close the button closure. The matching shams can be put on your pillows for a coordinated look. When it comes to cleaning, you can simply machine - wash the whole set. Just follow the instructions on the care label. We recommend using a commercial washer and dryer to make sure it gets thoroughly cleaned. Be careful not to use harsh detergents as they might damage the delicate cotton fabric. Also, avoid overloading the machine to ensure proper movement during the wash cycle. With these simple steps, your duvet set will stay in great condition for a long time.
