Daily care & cleaning
Vacuum monthly on the lowest setting, in the direction of the pile.
Spot-clean with cool water and mild soap. Blot, never rub. Air-dry flat, away from heat.
Keep out of direct sunlight over long periods โ natural wool colours deepen beautifully, but sunlight accelerates fade unevenly.
For deeper cleaning or restoration, email care@hewnearth.com.
Made to order ยท Pre-shipment approval
Nothing ships until you have seen it.
Every Hewn Earth piece is hand-tufted to order for you by our artisan partners in China, using premium New Zealand wool (Wool Blend or 100% New Zealand Wool). Before your piece leaves us, we photograph it under natural light and send the image to you for approval โ a final moment to make sure it meets your expectations before it travels.
You have 48 hours to approve or request adjustments. Once approved, your piece is packed and dispatched.
20-year warranty
Every Hewn Earth piece is guaranteed for 20 years against manufacturing defects โ wool separation, backing degradation, tufting failure, or any structural issue emerging under normal use.
The warranty period begins on the date you receive your piece and applies worldwide.
The warranty does not cover damage from failure to follow our care instructions, prolonged direct sunlight exposure, water damage, pet damage, or accidental damage.
If a defect is discovered within the warranty period, please contact care@hewnearth.com with clear photographs and a description of the issue. Every claim is assessed individually and resolved with either a full replacement or a complimentary repair.
