Using your Sferra Fiona Boudoir Shams is easy. Just place them on your bed to add a touch of luxury to your bedroom. When it's time to clean them, machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Don't use bleach because it can make the fabric weaker and turn it yellow. Also, don't use 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, you can iron them on the 'cotton' setting to bring back their luster.
