Using this backdrop stand cover is easy. First, make sure your 7ft half - moon shape backdrop stand is set up. Then, simply pull the cover over the stand to get a nice, snug fit. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they may damage the spandex material. After washing, let it air dry. Don't wring it out forcefully. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
