Using this backdrop stand cover is easy. Just pull it over your 8ft half - moon shape backdrop stand, and it will fit snugly. When using it, make sure the stand is stable to prevent the cover from falling off. For maintenance, it's recommended to hand - wash the cover in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they may damage the spandex material. After washing, let it air dry. Don't wring it out to keep its shape. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent mildew.
