Using this coverlet set is easy. Just spread the coverlet on your bed and place the matching shams at the head of the bed. You'll immediately notice how it transforms your bedroom into a more elegant space. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply toss it in the washing machine for a convenient clean. However, keep in mind that because of the chenille fabric, some shedding is normal during the first 3 - 4 washes. Don't worry too much about it; it will reduce over time. After washing, let it dry according to the normal drying settings for cotton items. With proper care, this coverlet set will stay beautiful and comfortable for a long time.
