Using this bedspread set is easy. Just lay the bedspread over your mattress with the 24 - inch drop neatly hanging down the sides. Place the matching shams on your pillows and add the decorative pillow for a complete look. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply toss it in the washing machine as it's machine washable. Make sure to follow the general care instructions on the label. Avoid using harsh detergents that might damage the cotton fabric. And when drying, a gentle cycle is recommended to keep the shape and softness of the bedspread and shams intact. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent any mildew or damage when not in use.
