Using this duvet cover set is a breeze. First, open the duvet cover through the button closure and insert your comforter. Then, tie the inside corner ties to the corners of the comforter to keep it in place. Place the shams on your pillows and enjoy the new look of your bed. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply toss the duvet cover in the washing machine. For the pillow, spot clean it if there are any stains. Make sure to follow the care instructions on the label. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as they may damage the cotton fabric. Also, check the buttons regularly to ensure they are in good condition and replace any loose ones to keep the set looking its best.
