Frequently Asked Questions
Are they reusable?
Yes, our beeswax wraps are 100% reusable unlike single use cling wrap.
How do you wash them?
To clean, simply wipe your beeswax wrap with a damp cloth using cold water and a small amount of eco-friendly soap. Hang your beeswax wrap up to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals and heat as this will melt the wax and destroy the antimicrobial layer.
How long do they last?
Bush and Bee beeswax wraps can be reused over and over again and can last up to 12 months if cared for properly. When there are signs of wax cracking and a reduction in stickiness, your wraps can be rewaxed with a replenishing block to revive and extend their life or they can be completely composted once their life is complete.
Can they go in the fridge or freezer?
Yes, make sure you bring the wrap warm up to room temperature before unwrapping to minimise cracking.
How do i store them?
We store our beeswax wraps in the kitchen bottom drawer, out of the sun for easy access.
Can you wrap anything?
You can wrap almost everything except for raw meats.
Can oil touch beeswax wraps?
We recommend avoiding direct contact with oily foods as this will cause an oil stain on your wrap, instead place your food item in a bowl and cover.
Will beeswax wraps stain?
Some foods like beetroot and capsicum that are likely to stain your hands may stain your wrap, but this does not harm your food or your beeswax wraps.
Do beeswax wraps smell?
Beeswax wraps have a mild aroma of honey from the beeswax, fresh pine and a nutty aroma from jojoba oil. This aroma will reduce over time and does not affect your food.
Are they water proof?
Our wraps are water resistant not waterproof, this is due to the beeswax coating.
Can I use a beeswax wrap if Iām allergic to bees?
Yes, science has proven that there is no direct relation between bee products and bee venom. If you suspect you may hae an allergy to beeswax, consult your doctor before using and coming in contact with beeswax.
