To use this quilt cover set, simply slip your quilt inside the cover through the opening. You can also remove the inner quilt to use it as a coverlet during warmer nights. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water with mild detergent is recommended. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on a low - heat setting or hang it to dry. For long - term storage, make sure the cover is clean and dry, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
