Know before you buy
Wash the wraps by hand using cool water and a mild, eco-friendly soap. Avoid hot water, as it will melt the beeswax coating, and always let them air dry completely before storing.
No, these wraps should not be used for raw meat or fish. Because they cannot be washed in high-heat cycles, it is difficult to sanitize them properly after contact with raw proteins.
Simply place the wrap over your bowl or food and use the warmth of your hands to press down on the edges. The heat from your palms softens the beeswax, allowing it to mold and create a secure, airtight seal as it cools.
Keep the wraps away from any heat sources, including microwaves, ovens, dishwashers, and hot surfaces. Excessive heat will cause the wax to melt and ruin the integrity of the wrap.
With proper care, these wraps can last up to a year or longer depending on frequency of use. When the wrap no longer holds its shape or the wax coating wears thin, you can compost it as it is made from 100% natural materials.
