Using this backdrop stand cover is super easy. First, make sure your 7ft half - moon shape backdrop stand is set up. Then, simply pull the spandex cover over the stand. The double - sided design means you don't have to worry about which side to use. 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 matte black color. After washing, let it air - dry. Don't wring it out forcefully as it might stretch the spandex. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
