FAQs
Why choose beeswax wraps?
What is a beeswax wrap?
Beeswax wraps are a plastic-free, eco-friendly & reusable alternative to cling film/plastic wrap.
Why choose Clover & Bee Beeswax Wraps?
Not all beeswax wraps are made equal. We believe in making high quality wraps that work (and work well!)
That's why we only use the best ingredients, including 100% organic GOTS organic cotton.
Our signature stick combined with the durability of our wraps means you can put them to work again and again without worrying about messy fallout or a breakup of wax.
Can I reuse my beeswax wrap?
Yes! Wipe them off or wash in cool soapy water to reuse again and again.
With good care, your wraps will last a year or longer. After that time, they can either be refreshed with our signature blend for continued use, composted, or used as a pollution free fire starter.
Will a beeswax wrap keep my food fresh?
Beeswax wraps have natural antibacterial properties that help keep food fresh for longer, reducing food waste. Their breathable nature allows food to stay fresh without trapping moisture, preventing mould and mildew growth.
How long will my wraps last?
With good care, your wraps will last around a year (or longer!). At that time, they can either be refreshed with our signature blend for continued use, composted, or used as a pollution free fire starter.
What ingredients do you use?
Our beeswax wraps are made from 100% organic (GOTS) cotton fabric infused with a blend of medical grade beeswax, pine resin, and organic jojoba oil.
Are your beeswax wraps food safe?
Yes! We care about what we’re putting into the environment AND our bodies.
Our products have been tested by an independent lab to confirm our wraps follow the regulations for food contact materials.
Are your wraps environmentally friendly?
Creating a sustainable and eco-friendly product was is the heart of our decision making.
We're not perfect, but here's here’s how our beeswax wraps are making strides to help the environment:
1. Our wraps are made from GOTS certified organic cotton fabric. This means the cotton plant was grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. Organic cotton also uses, on average, 85% less water than regular cotton to produce, meaning it uses far less energy.
2. Our packaging is 100% recyclable and/or compostable - even the sticker!
3. At the end of their life, our wraps can be refreshed with our signature blend to get even more use out of them, composted, or used as an eco-friendly and pollution free fire starter.
4. When you use our reusable wraps, you’re stopping plastic from being dumped into landfills and/or our water systems.
5. Our fabric manufacturer pledges to plant 1m2 of trees for every order we place with them.
Caring for your beeswax wraps
How do I wash my beeswax wraps?
Washing your wax wraps is quick and simple! Use cool water and a little dish soap to remove any food residue.
Your wax wraps are sturdy, so if you have any stains or harder residue, don't be afraid to give them a good scrub - as long as you use cool water!
Can I use my beeswax wrap for warm/hot food?
No. Using your wraps with hot food will disturb/melt the beeswax. Best to wait until food cools down before storing it in a wrap.
Can I used my beeswax wrap in the freezer?
How do I store my beeswax wraps?
There are a few ways to store your wraps, and the best way is where you'll remember to use them!
Most users store them in a kitchen draw, or rolled up in a jar on the counter top.
Using your beeswax wraps
What can I wrap in my beeswax wrap?
Pretty much anything! They can be used to wrap fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, snacks, cover containers, and more. Our wraps can even store fattier foods like cheese!
Do beeswax wraps affect the taste or smell of food?
No! Our wraps have been tested by an independent lab and they passed the taste/smell test with flying colours.
When you first receive your wraps, they'll have a delicious honey-like smell that won't transfer to your food. Over a short time, the smell of your wrap will fade.
Do beeswax wraps leave a residue on your hands?
If handled a lot, the wraps can leave your hands feeling slightly tacky. This feeling goes away naturally, or you can wash your hands with some soapy water.
Do beeswax wraps go off/bad?
Beeswax doesn't go off, so you don't need to worry about an expiration date.
The wraps will lose naturally stickiness over time and feel more like plain fabric again. This happens after about a year of use.
When this happens, they can either be refreshed without our signature was mixture for continued use, composted, or used as a pollution free fire starter!
