Using this spandex chair cover is a breeze. Just slip it over your Lifetime folding chair and adjust it so the elastic foot pockets fit snugly around the chair legs. This will keep the cover in place during your event. When it comes to care, you can simply throw it in the washing machine with warm water. Set your dryer to a low temperature and take the cover out as soon as the cycle is done. You don't need to iron it. Remember, this cover is only for Lifetime chairs, so don't try to use it on standard folding or banquet style chairs. With its wrinkle and stain - resistant properties, it'll look great for many events to come.
