To use this duvet cover set, first insert your duvet into the cover through the button - closed opening and secure it with the inner ties. This will keep the insert from shifting around. The matching shams can be placed on your pillows to enhance the overall look of your bed. When it comes to maintenance, it's really simple. Just throw the duvet cover and shams in the washing machine for a regular wash. However, make sure to follow the standard washing instructions to keep the colors bright and the fabric in good condition. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these may damage the floral print. Also, let the set air - dry or use a low - heat setting in the dryer to prevent shrinkage. With proper care, this duvet cover set will serve you well for a long time and continue to beautify your bedroom.
