Beeswax wraps are a fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap, offering a sustainable option for food storage.
At Superwrap, we believe that taking care of your beeswax wraps can maximize their lifespan and keep them in top condition.
Here's everything you need to know about after-use care to ensure your wraps remain vibrant and functional!
How Long Does Beeswax Wrap Last?
The lifespan of beeswax wraps can vary depending on how well they are cared for. Typically, our high-quality wraps can last for about a year—that’s a considerable amount of plastic wrap saved from our landfills!
At Superwrap, we use premium materials such as certified organic cotton, pure beeswax, and natural jojoba oil to ensure durability and effectiveness.

Washing Your Beeswax Wraps
Cleaning beeswax wraps is a breeze! Here’s how to do it:
- Cool Water and Soap: Rinse your wrap under cool water, using a soft sponge and a mild dish soap to gently clean it.
- Avoid Heat: Never use hot water, or place them in the dishwasher or microwave, as this may melt the wax and damage the wrap.
- Dry Properly: Lay the wrap flat or over a dish rack to air dry. This keeps the wax intact and ready for future use.
Storing Your Beeswax Wraps
Once your wraps are dry, it’s important to store them properly:
- Fold or Roll: Fold or roll the wraps and keep them in a drawer or cabinet that’s easy to access.
- Decorative Option: For a fun twist, roll them up and place them in a jar on your countertop. This not only brightens up your kitchen but also serves as a reminder to use them!
Pro Tip: Keep your beeswax wraps away from heat sources and direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
When to Replace Your Beeswax Wraps
You'll know it's time to replace your beeswax wraps when:
- Loss of Stickiness: If the wrap can no longer stick to itself or other items, it’s time for a change.
- Wear and Tear: Once the wrap starts to resemble a worn cotton rag, it's better to replace it.
You can also compost it, just make sure to choose wraps crafted from certified organic cotton and natural ingredients for safe composting, like Superwrap's.
