Using this backdrop stand cover is easy. First, make sure your 5ft round top wedding arch is set up. Then, simply pull the cover over the stand. It's double - sided, so it'll cover both sides beautifully. When it comes to maintenance, you can hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they might damage the spandex material. After washing, let it air dry. Also, when storing, keep it in a cool and dry place to prevent any mold or mildew growth. If there are any small wrinkles, you can gently steam it to make it look smooth again.
