Using this quilt set is easy. Just spread the quilt on your bed and place the shams on your pillows and the decorative pillow at the head of the bed for a complete coastal look. When it comes to care, for the quilt and shams, you can machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle, and wash them separately. Don't use bleach. Tumble dry on low and take them out right away. Avoid ironing them. If your washer or dryer is small, use a large - capacity commercial one. For the decorative pillow, spot clean it. Keep in mind that since it's OEKO - TEX certified, it's made without harmful substances, so you can enjoy a healthy and comfortable sleep environment.
