To use your new sheet set, simply put the fitted sheet on your mattress first, making sure it fits snugly in the corners. Then lay the flat sheet on top, and tuck it in neatly at the foot of the bed. Place the pillowcases on your pillows. For best results, wash the sheets before first use to enhance softness. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the embroidery. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to prevent wrinkles. Iron on a low setting if needed. With proper care, your sheet set will stay beautiful and comfortable for a long time.
