Using this backdrop stand cover is super easy. First, make sure your 8ft half - moon backdrop stand is set up. Then, simply pull the spandex cover over the stand. It's double - sided, so it will nicely cover both sides. 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 can damage the spandex. After washing, let it air dry. Don't wring it out as this may stretch the cover. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
