Using this duvet cover set is easy. First, open the button closures on the duvet cover and place your comforter inside. Then, use the four internal corner ties to secure the comforter and prevent it from moving around. Put the shams on your pillows and arrange the decorative pillows on the bed to complete the look. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply toss the duvet cover and shams in the washing machine for a quick clean. For the decorative pillows, spot clean them if they get dirty. Remember, this set has an antimicrobial treatment, but it's still a good idea to wash it regularly to keep it fresh. Also, don't forget that the comforter insert is not included, so you'll need to provide your own. Enjoy the stylish and comfortable bedding this set brings to your bedroom!
