Using this backdrop stand cover is super easy. First, just place your 7ft round top wedding arch in the desired location. Then, take the spandex cover and pull it over the arch stand. Since it's a custom - fit, it will hug the stand snugly, covering both sides beautifully. As for maintenance, you can gently hand - wash it in cool water with mild detergent. After that, let it air dry. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they might damage the spandex material. Also, when not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition for your next event.
