Using this backdrop stand cover is a breeze. First, make sure your 8ft half - moon backdrop stand is set up. Then, simply pull the spandex cover over the stand. Since it's double - sided, it will add a touch of elegance from both sides. When it comes to cleaning, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the color. After washing, let it air dry. Don't wring it out to prevent stretching. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
