Using these backdrop covers is a breeze. First, pick the right cover for your stand - the smaller one for the 6.5ft stand and the larger one for the 8ft stand. Then, simply pull the cover over the stand until it fits snugly. Since they're double - sided, you don't have to worry about how they're placed. They're great for many events like weddings, parties, and baby showers. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently hand - wash them in cool water with mild detergent. Let them air - dry flat. Remember, this order only includes the covers, so you'll need to provide your own stands. Avoid using harsh chemicals or wringing them out too hard as this could damage the spandex material.
