Backdrop and Prop FAQs
HOW TO USE VINYL BACKDROPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
• These vinyl photo backdrops are a practical solution for photographers, perfect for flat lay photography or angled shots. Use them when you want to move your surface to the best light, shoot on location, or require a specific look that you don't necessarily have in your home or studio.
• Remember shooting your images in different lighting situations can produce varying results.
• Wipe down after use. Roll up or keep flat for storage.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BACKDROP?
Product and food photography backdrops need to be robust and durable, which these are:
• Store at room temperature, rolled up or laid flat out.
• Wipe with a soft cloth and gentle soap, after use if necessary.
• Don't use abrasive cleaners/magic sponge or scrape heavy objects across them.
• Don't let fruit juice or anything acidic sit on the vinyl for too long.
• Some substances such as strong coloured sauces/food and makeup may stain the vinyl. It is advised to do a test patch on one corner before use.
• For hard to remove stickiness (such as the glue from old masking tape), warm it with a hairdryer before wiping.
• Treated well they will last shoot, after shoot, after shoot.
