Using your Sferra Fiona Standard Sham is simple - just place it on your bed for a touch of luxury. When it's time to clean, machine wash it in warm water on a gentle cycle. Don't use bleach because it can damage the fabric and make it turn yellow. Also, don't use fabric softener. Wash dark - colored shams separately to prevent color bleeding. Tumble dry on low heat and take it out while it's still a bit damp. If it loses its shine, iron it on the 'cotton' setting. With these steps, your sham will stay in great condition for a long time.
