Using this duvet cover set is easy. First, open the button closure on the duvet cover and place your comforter inside. Then, use the internal corner ties to secure the comforter so it doesn't shift. The two matching shams can be placed at the head of the bed, and the decorative pillows can be arranged for a cute look. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine wash the duvet cover and shams. However, for the pillows, it's best to spot clean them. Remember, the antimicrobial treatment helps keep the fabric fresh and reduces bacteria growth, but regular cleaning is still important to keep your bedding in top condition.
