Cleaning your beeswax wraps

Beeswax wraps are an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to plastic wrap. They're great for storing food, but they can get dirty and lose their stickiness over time. Here's a simple guide on how to clean your beeswax wraps and make them good as new.

The first thing you need to do is to gently wipe down your beeswax wraps with a damp cloth to remove any crumbs or debris. Be sure to use warm water, as cold water can make the wax harden and lose its stickiness.

Next, you can give your wraps a more thorough cleaning by gently washing them with a mild soap and warm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can melt the wax. Be sure to rinse them well and pat them dry with a clean towel.

It's important to note that beeswax wraps should not be washed in the dishwasher or microwaved, as the heat can damage the wax and make them less effective.

With these simple steps, you can keep your beeswax wraps clean and in good condition for a long time. Not only will you be reducing your plastic waste but also protecting the environment. Keep in mind that, with time and use, the wraps may lose their stickiness, so you may need to rejuvenate them.
