Meli Wraps Beeswax Wrap

Simply wash your wraps with mild soap and cool water. Avoid hot water, as it will melt the beeswax coating and shorten the lifespan of the product.

These wraps are not suitable for raw meat or fish. Because they cannot be washed in hot water or sanitized at high temperatures, they should only be used for produce, dry goods, bread, and cheese.

With proper care, each wrap is designed to last between one and two years, or roughly 150 washes. You will know it is time to replace them when the wax coating begins to thin and the wrap no longer sticks to itself.

You may notice a slight scent of beeswax or resin when you first open the package, but this does not transfer to your food. The wraps are designed to be tacky enough to seal, but they will not leave a sticky or waxy residue on your dishes.

No, these wraps are not heat-safe. Exposure to heat from an oven, microwave, or dishwasher will cause the beeswax and resin to melt and ruin the wrap.

The warmth of your hands is the secret. Simply wrap the sheet around your food or bowl and hold it in place for a few seconds; the heat from your palms will soften the wax, allowing it to create a secure, airtight seal as it cools.
