Using this backdrop stand cover is a breeze. First, locate your 7ft half - moon shape backdrop stand. Then, simply pull the cover over the stand. Since it's custom - fitted, it should fit snugly. For cleaning, use a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the spandex material. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition. Be gentle when handling the cover to prevent any rips or tears.
