To use this quilt cover set, simply slip your quilt into the cover through the opening. Make sure to align the corners well for a neat look. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they may damage the fabric. For drying, tumble dry on low heat or air - dry. This will help keep the softness of the cotton percale and the vibrancy of the Australian flora design. Also, store the set in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any mold or mildew growth.
