🕯️ What Are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are scented pieces of wax designed to be gently heated in a suitable wax warmer. As the wax warms up, it releases its fragrance into the room, helping create a lovely atmosphere without needing a traditional wick or flame in the wax itself.
✨ How to Use Your Wax Melts
Step 1: Choose your wax warmer
Use a suitable wax melt warmer designed for either a tealight or an electric heat source. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your warmer.
Step 2: Add your wax melt
Place a piece of wax melt into the warmer's dish. Start with a small piece if you're unsure how much fragrance you'd like.
Step 3: Switch on your warmer
If you're using a tealight warmer, use the correct tealight and keep it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything flammable. If you're using an electric warmer, switch it on according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 4: Enjoy your favourite fragrance
As the wax warms, its fragrance will begin to fill the room. Fragrance strength and longevity can vary depending on the scent, warmer and room size.
Step 5: Turn off your warmer safely
When you've finished enjoying your fragrance, extinguish the tealight or switch off and unplug your electric warmer, following its instructions. Allow the wax to cool completely before handling it.
🌸 When Should I Change My Wax Melt?
Wax melts can often be used more than once. When you notice that the fragrance has faded and the wax is no longer releasing the scent you enjoy, it's time to replace it.
Remember, the wax doesn't need to disappear or evaporate for the fragrance to be finished.
🧼 How Do I Remove Used Wax?
Always switch off your warmer and allow the wax to cool before removing it.
Follow your warmer manufacturer's instructions for removing used wax. Depending on the warmer and wax, you may be able to gently lift out fully cooled wax or use a method recommended by the manufacturer.
Never pour melted wax down the sink, as it can solidify and cause blockages. Avoid using sharp objects to scrape wax from the warmer dish.
⚠️ Wax Melt Safety Tips
