These Sferra Estate Boudoir Shams are a great addition to your bedroom. To use them, simply place them on your bed for a touch of luxury. When it's time to clean, machine wash them in warm water on a gentle cycle. Remember not to use bleach because it can make the fabric weak and turn it yellow. Also, skip the fabric softener. Wash dark - colored shams separately to prevent color bleeding. Tumble dry on low heat and take them out while they're still a bit damp. If they lose their shine, use a steam iron on the “cotton” setting to make them look brand - new again.
