This backdrop is really easy to use. First, find a suitable place for it and pair it with a backdrop stand. Then, hang it up using the 3' rod pocket. It's great for many occasions like weddings, parties, photography, and exhibitions. When it comes to cleaning, you can machine - wash it in cold or warm water. For drying, you can either use the machine on a low setting or simply hang it up. Just remember, the sale only includes the backdrop linen, so you'll need to get other decorative items separately.
