Using these wedding arch covers is super easy. First, pick the right cover for your stand - the smaller one for the 6.5ft stand and the larger one for the 8ft stand. Then, simply pull the cover over the stand until it fits snugly. Remember, this order only includes the covers, so you'll need to provide your own stands or other accessories. When it comes to maintenance, you can hand - wash these spandex covers in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it might damage the fabric. After washing, let them air - dry. Don't wring them out forcefully. These covers are great for many events like weddings, parties, and baby showers, so keep them in a dry place when not in use to make them last longer.
