Using your Harbor House Suzanna Duvet Cover Mini Set is easy. First, open the button closures on the duvet cover and place your comforter inside. Then, use the 4 hidden tie - backs at the corners to secure the comforter so it won't shift around. You can add the coordinating decorative pillows (sold separately) to complete the look of your bed. When it comes to maintenance, remember to machine wash the set in cold water, separately on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry it on low heat. Avoid using bleach and don't iron it. A commercial washer and dryer are best as they provide more space for the set to move around. Also, keep in mind that because of the chenille fabric, some shedding is normal in the first 3 - 4 washes, so don't be alarmed if you see a little bit of fuzz.
