From Les: "Its used as an alternative to cling wrap to keep food fresh in the refrigerator. They are very popular in Australia and are continuing to gain acceptance as an alternative to plastics."
It is not uncommon for food to touch cling wrap from time to time when food is covered for storage. Whether placed in the refrigerator for storage or carried to a picnic. Any juice from any food, be it vegetables or grease from fried chicken for example, which might come into contact with the wrap will create the need for the wrap to be sanitized before re-use? What is the sanitizing process? Being beeswax is involved I would think the options are limited? How do you sanitize these wraps from use to use?

Oh, I see what you mean. You can clean them with cold soapy water apparently. You can't use hot water, as the wax will melt. I've heard that the wax mixture can wear off over time, but you can reapply the wax mixture to the cloth if needed. I'd imagine you wouldn't want to use them with anything that was overly messy or smelly.

If you ever get to Brattleboro, Vermont USA Main Street .. You will definitely understand... Especially if there's a freight train coming.. It's a 5 corner Junction.. With 2 major businesses opening into it... And when you have a freight train change CARS on the Railway sideting. This should take you up to an hour or Longer... To get through this mess...
LOL
BEE HAPPY Jim134 :smile:
