Using your Sferra Giotto King Sham is as simple as placing it on your pillow. It'll instantly add a touch of luxury to your bed. When it comes to cleaning, machine wash it in warm water on a gentle cycle. Make sure not to 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. After washing, tumble dry on low heat. Take it out while it's still a bit damp. If you want to bring back its shine, iron it on the 'cotton' setting. By following these steps, your sham will stay in great condition for a long time.
