Using your Essex Olive quilt cover set is easy. Just slip it over your quilt and make your bed as usual. When it comes to maintenance, machine - wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent. Tumble dry on low to keep it in good shape. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric and the colors. Also, don't iron the herringbone pattern too heavily to maintain its smooth appearance. With proper care, your quilt cover set will last for a long time and keep your bed looking stylish.
