Bee’s Wrap and Abeego both recommend cool-water washing and air drying. Heat can damage the wax coating; keep wraps out of dishwashers and microwaves and away from hot pots. Abeego also warns against directly wrapping raw meat, fish or greasy foods.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Identify whether your product uses beeswax or plant-based wax and read its own care label.
After use, rinse food residue under cool running water. Never start with hot water.
If needed, rub gently by hand with a small amount of mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive pads and washing machines.
Rinse soap away with cool water without hard twisting or scraping that could strip the coating.
Drape or lay the wrap where air circulates and allow it to dry naturally. Do not use a hairdryer, tumble dryer or direct heat.
Once fully dry, fold or roll and store in a cool, dry drawer. Replace a wrap that has lost tack or has worn coating as directed. Do not wrap raw meat, raw fish or hot foods directly.
