Swedish Cloth | Beequip - PRE-ORDER
Estimated Arrival: August 2026
Swedish Cloth is used extensively by beekeepers to keep their beehives healthy.
It is an excellent matrix for absorbing Oxalic Acid/Glycerin solution.
The Beequip Swedish Cloth is a high-quality product made in Germany, consisting of 70% cellulose, 30% cotton, and is 100% biodegradable.
The BQ Swedish Cloth does not contain colouring additives, flame-retardant chemicals, or plastic membranes as found in other cleaning cloth products.
The cloth is pre-cut into strips suitable for beehives. Each dry cloth strip measures 195mm x 43mm x 2mm and weighs approximately 2.4 grams.
A dry strip will soak up 25 grams of Oxalic Acid/Glycerin solution, swelling to approximately 195mm x 47mm x 4mm.
Soaker bins are available here!

Directions:
Prepare a solution comprising 50% Oxalic Acid Dihydrate and 50% food-grade glycerine by weight. See detailed instructions and videos in the mixing guide.
While the solution is around 54–58°C, soak each strip with approximately 25 grams of solution. Place the strips on their edges in a flat-bottomed soak bin, ideally in a warm place (20–30°C). Strips absorb the solution fully within 60 minutes. Allow the bin to stay in a warm place for 24 hours to equalise the solution distribution. When cooled to room temperature, the solution will solidify within each strip.
The strips can then be used immediately or packed into airtight ziplock bags for long-term storage.
Scrape off the burr comb first.
The four strips work more effectively than using a single larger pad.
