Using this quilt cover set is easy. Just slip it over your existing quilt for a quick and beautiful bedroom upgrade. When it comes to washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the colors vibrant and the fabric in good shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the delicate hand - drawn illustrations. After washing, tumble dry on low to prevent shrinking. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it looking fresh.
