Using this backdrop stand cover is a breeze. First, make sure your 7ft half - moon shape backdrop stand is set up. Then, simply pull the spandex cover over the stand. Since it's a custom fit, it will hug the stand nicely. When it comes to cleaning, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they might damage the spandex and fade the matte dusty rose color. After washing, let it air dry. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. Also, be careful not to snag the cover on sharp objects, as spandex can tear easily.
