Using this backdrop cover is a breeze. First, just identify the top and bottom of the cover. Then, gently pull it over your 7ft half - moon shape backdrop stand until it fits snugly. Remember, it's double - sided, so both sides of the stand will be nicely covered. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as they can damage the spandex material. After washing, let it air dry. Don't put it in the dryer as high heat can cause shrinkage. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
