- The hemp fiber in our Braided Hemp™ line is processed, knotted, spun by hand, and created
without the use of chemicals or machines. There is very little energy expended in the
making of the product. Hemp fiber is transported via foot and bus, handspun and woven
with hand looms, and the finished wallcovering is air dried after paper-backing process. - Hemp, a rapidly renewing resource, is a fast-growing plant that has been used through the ages
in production of rope and paper. Characteristics of hemp fiber are its superior strength and
durability and resistance to ultraviolet light and mold. It is considered an ecologically superior
material to wood pulp as the hemp plant yields 3-8 dry tons of fiber per acre—four times what
an average forest can yield. - Partial proceeds benefit Aid to Artisans.

Cleaning
- Before cleaning any product, we reccomend testing first on a small, inconspicuous area.
- If necessary, many of our products may be cleaned by blotting the soiled area with a soft, clean
cloth dampened with a weak solution of a mild liquid detergent. Dry with a soft cloth. Please
contact Customer Service at 800.465.6909 to confirm that your wallcovering may be cleaned
using this method. - Avoid getting the wallcovering excessively wet.
- Do not use cleaners, solvents, or chemicals of any kind to clean Maya Romanoff products
Care
- Wallcoverings made of fabric and natural grasses may be lightly vacuumed for normal dust accumulation.
- Avoid direct, bright or reflected sunlight. Our wallcoverings are not guaranteed against fading or color change.
- Maya Romanoff wallcovering materials are primarily formulated for dry-use areas.*
- *Polyurethane can be applied to some of our products after installation to improve our
products' retained beauty over time through increased resistance to occasional or light
moisture. This coating is NOT a guarantee of waterproofing. We reccomend testing first
on a small, inconspicuous area. Maya Romanoff is not responsible for unsatisfactory
results. - If a product requires more specific care and cleaning instructions, it will be noted on the
product-specific installation instructions. Installation instructions come wrapped with
every roll of shipped wallcovering and can also be downloaded from our website.
