To use this duster, simply slip it on over your clothes. It's great for casual outings or relaxing at home. When it comes to maintenance, it's recommended to follow the care label instructions. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water and laying it flat to dry will keep it in good shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the cable knit pattern. Also, don't wring it out too hard when washing to prevent stretching.
