To Properly Care for Your Wraps:

2. Clean gently with mild soap and cool water.

Tips: 

• If your brush, bowl, baking sheet, or cooling rack become saturated with wax, you can heat them using your oven or boiling water, in order to loosen and remove the wax. Once heated, most objects can be wiped clean with a dry paper towel. 
• We highly recommend adding some pine resin to your beeswax melt to increase the stickiness of your wraps. A ratio of 5:1 or 4:1 wax:resin is ideal. Remember to choose a resin that is sustainably sourced to keep our trees thriving!
