£6
Product information
100% Natural and a natural substitute to single use plastic.
Hand crafted organic cotton sheets impregnated with 100% natural Ingredients including sustainably harvested, pesticide-free beeswax, tree resin and organic jojoba oil.
Simply use the wraps in place of traditional plastic sandwich bags, cling film and tin foil to store sandwiches, bread, fruit, vegetables and cheese.
Preparation and Usage
Warm the sheet in your hand to soften and mould it into the desired shape.
Simply wipe clean with warm soapy water (using a mild washing up liquid). Do not use hot water as this will cause the wraps to lose their coating and prevent them from sticking.
Instructions
To refresh wrap using an iron:
1) Place a sheet of baking paper on a flat surface or ironing board and place wrap or cotton fabric on top.
2) With a grater, grate a portion of a refresher cube into flakes and evenly spread over the fabric, then cover it with a second sheet of baking paper.
3) With the preheated iron, gently press down all over. Let it cool down, then remove the baking paper.
To refresh wrap using an oven:
1) preheat the oven to 80C/176F
2) Cover an oven tray with baking paper and place the wrap or cotton fabric on top and bake for 5 minutes.
3) Using a grater, grate a portion of a refresher cube into flakes and evenly spread over the fabric
4) Remove the tray from the oven and use a brush to distribute the newly melted wax across the surface of the wrap. Let it cool.
Helpful Tips
Cool the refresher cube in the fridge/freezer for easy grating
There's no need to turn the wrap over as the wax will melt through the fabric.
Wax liquifies at 80C/176F and can cause burns. handle with care using oven gloves or tongs.
store the unused portion of the refresher block in its packaging in a cool dry place.

great alternative
Great alternative to disposable packaging. The key to reusing is to not let them get hot, wash gently with soapy cold water and leave to dry and they wont crumble. You can also re wax them. A must in our lunchboxes and for cheese.
unhygienic
Difficult to wash and unhygienic. Ive thrown them away. Plus, the cleaner thought they were rubbish and threw 2 of them away! Complete waste of money.
Absolute rubbish
The wraps are too stiff and it doesnt stick to itself properly.
Reusable and pretty!
I’ve used this to wrap the children’s sandwiches and apples too. Keeps things fresh without the waste. Brightens up their lunch boxes too. Needs softening a bit but it’s as good if not better than cling film or foil.
Crumble
Despite washing these according to the instructions my wrap has started to have a crumbly texture on top I have found the same with other beeswax wraps that I have.
Food wrap
I am always looking for things that help our planet and really like this, I will be buying this again, really good and keeps your food fresh
