How Do You Wash Beeswax Wraps?

How do you wash your Bee Wax Wraps?

First, lightly scrape off any food residue using a spatula or cloth to wash beeswax wraps.

Then, rinse the wraps under cool to lukewarm water to avoid damaging the wax coating. For a deeper clean, apply a mild dish soap with a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid hot water and harsh detergents, as they can strip the beeswax. After washing, thoroughly rinse the wraps again to remove any soap residue.

Finally, hang the wraps to air dry on a flat surface or a drying rack, ensuring they maintain their shape. With proper care, beeswax wraps can last for up to a year, making them a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap for food storage. Remember to keep them away from heat sources to extend their lifespan.
