Frequently asked questions!
How do I wash my HAPPY WRAPS?
Rinse under cool // lukewarm water. Avoid super hot or freezing water. Give your HW a gentle soapy scrub if needed. Air dry. Use your best judgment for how often you need to wash your HW. If you only wrapped up a bell pepper for a couple of days, it’s probably okay to not wash. If you covered spaghetti in bowl and forgot about it for too long and it got sauce all over it, wash and scrub it. I use a clear, organic soap at home, but dawn is okay too :) I lay my wraps on my dish rack to dry and then fold up and store in a drawer.How long will my HAPPY WRAPS stay sticky?
Great question! I tell everyone 1-2 years with normal use and washes but I still have friends using the same wraps 3 plus years later! And sometimes they don’t make it a year depending on how well they were cared for. Regardless of all of that, when your wraps get to the point when they don’t stick like you want them to, send them back via mail and I will re-coat them for you and send them back for a $10 service charge. I also like to tell people that even if a wrap feels less malleable and sticky, working the wrap in your hands for a few minutes helps bring it back to life!
How do I wrap up produce? Can the wrap touch the fruit or vegetable?
The answer is YES! You want direct contact on your veggies. It doesn’t have to be a sophisticated wrap job either, just cover whatever it is up, the best you can. Your produce will LOVE the pine resin which has anti-microbial properties. A common question is, “does the smell of onions penetrate into the wrap”? I personally have never had an issue with this ever! Go for it! It keeps onions, peppers, squash, broccoli, asparagus and more crunchy for weeks! Cut avocados amaze me the most! I say about 4-5 days for a cut avocado. Cover bread and cheeses too!
How do you make the baggies?!
Simply take ANY sized wrap, fold in half, fold in the edges a little bit to great an envelope so to speak and then fold the top over to seal your bag up!
What sizes cover what?
These are all sized in inches:
6X6 Great for half an avocado, top of a cup or mason jar, chunks of cheese, jalapeño, etc. These are way more useful than one might imagine!! They’re only offered in the Large Variety 5-Pack.
8X8 Great for a standard cereal size bowl, a medium onion, top of a blender, half a bell pepper, or even an English muffin sandwich! One of the ones I use most often.
9X9 Great for a medium pyrex mixing bowl, a large full bell pepper, a small snack bag (see how-to above), cucumbers, blocks of cheese, large onions, avocados and more.
12x12 My personal favorite and most commonly used sized. Great for large salad bowls, half of a watermelon, a head of cabbage, crowns of broccoli, asparagus, sandwiches and more! These make about a quart sized bag (see how-to above)!
12x18 The mother of all wraps! This size is fantastic! Big enough for your largest 13x9 casserole dish (st remember to let your casserole cool off first). Cover, a loaf of bread, a large cheese platter for a dinner party, celery, carrots, asparagus and more. If you find you don’t use this one often you could even cut this wrap into smaller sizes!
My new wraps left a little sticky residue on my dish, help!
If your new sticky wraps leave any stickiness on your favorite dish, simply just rub olive oil or any other food oil on your dish and rinse off with hot water.
Why aren’t the sizes + edges cut perfectly?
HAPPY WRAPS are as hand-made as they come ;) I cut all of the fabric pieces as best as I can but it won’t always be perfect.
I found little pieces stuck to my wrap…what could it be?
They are little cutting pieces of the fabric.I do my best to inspect each wrap as I am folding and labeling them but it’s hard to catch every little thing that can stick to them in the process.
How can I get my HAPPY WRAPS re-coated?
Ready for your wraps to be re-coated? Send me an email to get set up! I will have you mail your wrap(s) back to me in an envelope. Depending on the time of year I will let you know when I will be able to re-coat them and send them back to you! I will shoot for a 2 week window. Re-coating service is a $10 flat fee and I will set that payment up through our email.
