To use this quilt cover set, simply slip your quilt into the cover. It's great for adding a tropical touch to your queen - sized bed. When it comes to cleaning, follow the care label instructions. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water is a good idea. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the fabric and fade the colors. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting. For long - term storage, make sure the set is completely dry and fold it neatly. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
