Using your Hanae Euro Sham is easy. Just unzip the concealed zipper, insert your pillow, and zip it back up. It's a great way to instantly upgrade the look of your bed. When it comes to care, since it's machine - washable, you can simply toss it in the washing machine. However, make sure to follow the standard washing instructions for cotton - blend fabrics. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it might damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on low to keep the sham in good shape. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent any mold or mildew growth.
