Using this backdrop stand cover is super easy. First, make sure your 6ft round top wedding arch is set up. Then, simply pull the spandex cover over the stand. Since it's double - sided, you don't have to worry about the backside looking bare. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Don't wring it out too hard as this might damage the spandex. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water and let it air dry. Also, avoid direct sunlight when drying to prevent color fading. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you notice any small holes or tears, you can use a small piece of matching spandex and fabric glue to repair them.
