To use this sheet set, simply put the fitted sheet on your single bed, making sure the corners fit snugly. Then, lay the flat sheet on top and tuck it in as you like. Add the pillowcases to your pillows for a complete look. When it comes to maintenance, machine wash the sheets in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent to keep the fabric soft. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the tie - dyed pattern. Tumble dry on low heat to preserve the texture. And remember, always read the care label for the best results.
