Artcraft is proud to feature Salt Spring Island Beeswax Wraps, which are designed to have as little impact on the environment as possible. Made with 100% organic cotton, beeswax and tree resin, they can be cut into strips and composted at the end of their life. With a little care, you can use and re-use your wraps for up to a year before that end comes.

Tips for extending your wraps’ life is to keep them away from heat sources like stoves and microwaves – and even sunny windows – so the wax doesn’t melt; use cool water for washing; and to naturally air dry them afterward.

Washing instructions

Step 1: Turn your taps to produce water that’s cool but not cold, making sure to test that it’s not too warm. Give the wraps an initial rinse.

Step 2: Gently scrub wraps if there is any food residue, using a little eco-friendly dish soap. You can use your hand or a scrubby, as long as you don’t get too rough. Gentle cleaning is best.

Step 3: Dry your wraps naturally by draping them over a drying rack or a stand. Make sure to avoid heat sources.

Beeswax wraps can be folded after they’re washed and dried, and stored however is most convenient to you, whether that’s in a drawer or in a special container or box.
