How long does a beeswax cloth last?

A beeswax cloth is a durable and reusable product that can last up to a year or more, depending on how it is cared for and used. By following some simple care tips, you can extend the life of your beeswax cloth:

  1. Cleaning : Wash the cloth by hand with cold water and mild soap. Avoid hot water, detergents and dishwashers, as these can damage the beeswax.
  2. Drying : Allow the cloth to air dry. Avoid drying or using heat, which can affect the quality of the wax.
