Understanding Your Beeswax Wrap  

Beeswax food wraps are a combination of cotton fabric and natural beeswax that creates a secure, breathable seal. They're perfect for wrapping anything from sandwiches to bowls, keeping your food fresh without harming the planet. To maximize the life span of your wraps, a little care goes a long way!

Cleaning Your Wraps  

To clean your beeswax wrap, simply rinse it under cold water with a splash of mild soap. A gentle wipe with the soft side of a sponge will do the trick! Avoid hot water, as high temperatures can warp the wax. After rinsing, hang your wrap to air dry—it's that simple!

Storing Your Wraps  

Once your beeswax wrap is clean and dry, find a cool and dry spot to store it. Avoid areas with direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade the wax over time. A drawer or a cupboard is perfect for keeping your wraps in top condition until their next use.

When to Replace  

With proper care, your beeswax wraps can last for up to a year, but signs of wear may appear as time goes on. If your wraps start to lose their stickiness or show excessive stains, it may be time to replace them. You can recycle your worn wraps by composting them!

With these tips, you’re ready to kick off 2025 with fresh, eco-friendly habits! Now that you know how to care for your beeswax wraps, you can enjoy a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to food storage!
