They are a good alternative to plastic and aluminium foil in the kitchen. You can buy these cloths from various eco (web) shops, but you can also make beeswax cloths yourself very easily! Are you vegan? No point! We also explain how to make both a beeswax cloth and a vegan wash cloth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use beeswax cloths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We regularly get questions from followers: how exactly does such a beeswax cloth work and how do you keep it hygienic and clean? Indeed, it takes some getting used to handling such a sturdy, greasy cloth, but give it a chance and in no time you won't be able to do without your cloths. You can use beeswax cloths to cover dishes, store bread and vegetables. Take your cloth to the cheese shop and you can wrap cheese with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To preserve food with:<\/strong> beeswax cloths are ideal for wrapping food. Wrap your cheese, vegetables, bread, or snacks in it. The warmth of your hands will make the cloth adjust to the shape of the food and wrap it tightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>As cover:<\/strong> Use beeswax cloths to cover bowls or seal open edges of food containers. The heat causes the cloth to adhere to the edges, keeping your food fresh for longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On the go:<\/strong> beeswax cloths are pliable, so you can use them to form pouches for snacks, nuts or even sandwiches. Handy on the go!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preventing food waste<\/strong>: use them as packaging to wrap sliced fruit (to prevent them from browning or to prevent food from drying out in the fridge).<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the possibilities are endless! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bol.com\/nl\/nl\/s\/bijenwasdoek\/?Referrer=ADVNLPPcef64d000394f0d20065bba51d681193079&amp;utm_source=1193079&amp;utm_medium=Affiliates&amp;utm_campaign=CPS&amp;utm_content=txl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">You can buy beeswax cloths<\/a> Or make your own. We will soon show you how!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#eff1ec\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not for hot (and infectious) food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid using beeswax cloths for hot food, such as in the microwave or to cover hot pots. Heat can melt the wax. Also, we would not be quick to use the cloth with food items that spoil quickly or are known for rapid bacterial growth. So no beeswax cloth in combination with raw chicken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning your (vegan) beeswax cloth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning is no big deal either. If the cloth has not been in contact with food, wiping it clean is often enough. Did the cloth get a bit dirty anyway? Use lukewarm water (not too hot, because the wax will melt) and a little eco detergent, let it dry (not on the heater) et voil\u00e0 your cloth is clean again in no time. On average, you can use a cloth for nine months to a year before it needs to be treated or replaced. The more often you wash it, the sooner that point will be reached. So don't clean it unnecessarily and don't scrub too hard is the tip. And mild detergent is also important because you want to protect the greasy layer as much as possible (this layer also has an antibacterial effect) and aggressive detergents do not help here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vegan beeswax cloths?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u2018vegan beeswax cloth\u2019 does not exist, of course, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dille-kamille.nl\/catalogsearch\/result\/index\/?q=bijenwas&amp;categorie=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beeswax<\/a> is by definition not vegan. And yet you do often come across this designation. Heartbreakingly wrong, in other words. Although factually incorrect, it has become somewhat established in the eco-world. What is meant by this is that the washcloths are then made of a plant-based alternative. A vegan wash cloth would be a correct name for this, though. Are you a vegan? Then it is important to pay attention to this when buying or making a wash cloth. There are certainly vegan alternatives, such as using <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1193079&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fcandelillawas%2F&amp;name=bol.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">candelilla wax<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#eff1ec\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is beeswax anyway?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beeswax is a natural product produced by honey bees. It is made from the wax glands on the bees' abdomen. These tiny wax flakes are excreted by the bees and then used to build bee combs, in which they store their honey and pollen, and to seal the cells of the combs. People have been using beeswax for centuries for various applications, such as making candles, cosmetics, and even as a natural coating for food packaging. So beeswax in itself is a sustainable and natural product. Yet there are also critics and detractors: keeping bees is generally not animal-friendly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegreenlist.nl\/en\/sustainable-honey-does-exist\/\">We wrote about this earlier when we researched honey.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div
