Using this backdrop stand cover is easy. Just pull it over the 7ft round top wedding arch until it fits snugly. Since it's double - sided, both sides of the stand will be covered nicely. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water and let it air - dry. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the spandex material. Also, don't wring it out forcefully. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition.
