Using your duvet cover set is easy. First, insert your duvet into the cover through the button closure and secure it with the 4 inner ties. Spread it on your bed and add the matching shams for a complete look. When it comes to cleaning, simply toss the set in the washing machine as it's machine washable. For best results, follow the standard washing instructions. As a general note, avoid using bleach or harsh detergents which might damage the fabric. Also, keep in mind that the duvet inserts are sold separately, so make sure you have one that fits well. With proper care, your duvet cover set will stay in great condition for a long time and keep you comfortable every night.
