Do your beeswax wraps need refreshing?
Are your beeswax food wrap showing signs of wear?
Are you thinking of disposing your old beeswax wrap?
Bring your wrap back to life with our beeswax wrap refresher block made with the same ingredients we use for all our beeswax wraps.

1 block will make 1 small / standard size wrap - 30 x 27 cm

How to refresh your wrap

TIPS

• Chill the refresher block in the fridge overnight to make it easier to grate/slice. (Be careful of your fingers when cutting the block!)
• Be careful not to spread over the edge of the grease-proof paper onto the iron!
• Store left over wax in the box.
• Clean the grater with hot water from the kettle, do this outside on grass or soil as wax will solidify in your sink/drain!

• You need

  • An old towel
  • Kitchen Grater
  • Iron (steam off, medium/high setting)
  • 2 x grease-proof paper or parchment paper (5cm larger than the wrap, keep to reuse)
  • 1 x refresher block

  Iron Method

  1. Grate as much of the beeswax block needed for the repair (tip: chill block in the fridge overnight before grating)
  2. Protect your work surface or ironing board with an old towel
  3. Place your first sheet of baking paper on the protected surface
  4. Lay a square of fabric on top
  5. Spread the grated wax, evenly, over the area needing repaired or the whole wrap if refreshing a well used wrap. If difficult to grate, place block back in the fridge
  6. Place the second sheet of baking paper on the fabric
  7. Gently press the hot iron on the parchment layers, keep iron moving. Use the iron to spread the melted wax over the repair area or full wrap
  8. Once the wrap looks all wet and covered gently lift top sheet (place sheet to one side, wet side up)
  9. Pick up the wrap by two corners and waft for 30 seconds until dry
  10. Your wrap is now good to go

Why we love beeswax wraps at L+J: Cling film is seen as a necessity for preserving foods - but now you can make an easy swap! Although not suitable for raw meats and fish (put them in tupperware!), it is great for everything else.

How to use them? The wrap will just stick to itself (like cling film) Made from natural ingredients, they respond to their environment. If it is warmer they typically feel softer, if colder they may feel harder and not as sticky.

How to Use
Use the warmth of your hands to press and mould your wrap firmly around the item to be stored. Place the wrapped item in the refrigerator or take them with you on the go for your sandwiches and rolls.

How to Clean
Wash your beeswax wraps in COOL WATER with eco-friendly dish soap. Rinse and air dry before storing in your kitchen draw. The natural coating on your wrap will dissolve in alcohol so check your dish washing liquid before washing your wraps.

Avoid Heat
Because beeswax wraps are made from natural beeswax they need to be kept away from all sources of heat, including hot water, steam, hot food and flames. Wait until the food is cool and then cover with it with your wrap. Avoid putting them in the dishwasher, microwave oven, or anywhere they can get hot.

Summer Time Caution
Avoid leaving beeswax wraps in hot places such as direct sunlight or in a parked car. In hot weather, please keep wrapped items such as sandwiches, cut vegetables, fruit or cheese, in an esky with an ice pack.

How Long Does Beeswax Wrap Last
If you follow these care instructions, your beeswax wrap will last up to a year. With day to day use, stains and creases may appear, but these don’t affect your wraps ability to do their job.

Bicarbonate of soda, or baking soda, has a multitude of uses, with the most common including home baking and household cleaning.  

For cooking:

It has leavening properties, best used to raise soda breads, muffins, cookies and cakes, leaving a light and fluffy texture.

'Bicarb' is a store cupboard essential and one of the best (and cheapest) cleaning ingredients out there. It is a great 'natural' cleaner, deodouriser and mild abrasive.

Allergens: no allergens

Top tip: An acid (as well as moisture) activates it best, so combine it with cream of tartar, yoghurt, or milk. 

Other uses:

This versitile product has so many uses, some of which we have listed. At the end we have included some recipes for some of these uses.

Uses include dental (mouthwash replacement and teeth whitener), deoderant, fridge odour neutraliser, air freshener, whitening agent in laundry, kitchen/bathroom cleaner, garbage odour eliminator, carpet stain remover, pesticide remover in fruit and vegetables, silverware polisher, pot cleaner, weed killer, shoe odour neutraliser.

Make your own:

Mouthwash - Add 1/2 tsp bicarb soda to 120ml (1/2 glass) warm water, gargle, spit out

Teeth whitener - Add onto your toothbrush, and brush as normal after brushing. Not to be used as an alternative to toothpaste/toothpaste tabs, but as an addition. 

Kitchen/bathroom cleaner - Make a paste by mixing baking soda with equal amount of lemon juice and a bit of water. Apply the paste to the desired surface, and scrub/wipe with a cloth as normal

Carpet stain remover - Cover the carpet stain with a thin layer of baking soda. Fill a spray bottle with a 1-to-1 mixture of vinegar and water, and spray some over the stained area. Wait up to an hour or until the surface dries. Scrub the baking soda loose with a brush and vacuum up the reside, and here you have a clean carpet! If there's any residue left from the baking soda, wipe it with a clean damp towel.
