Using this quilt cover set is easy. Just slip it over your queen - sized mattress and pillows. For a quick refresh, you can spot - clean small stains with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. When it's time for a full wash, machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, color - safe detergent. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on low heat or hang it to dry. This will help keep the colors bright and the fabric in good shape. Don't iron directly on the fabric. If you need to iron, use a low - heat setting and iron on the reverse side to prevent any damage to the design.
