A little bit about 'Wax Melts'


Today, I'd like to share with you some benefits and tips around wax melts and wax burners.


My blogs are designed to bring some clarity to daily questions and to give a little bit more information about them.

Below you can read what I say to my customers when they ask me about using melts and cleaning their burners.


Wax melts are a popular alternative to traditional candles as they offer a flameless way to scent a room. Here are some benefits and tips for using wax melts:

  • Try Different Scents: One of the benefits of using wax melts is the ability to switch up scents easily. Try a variety of scents during your first week to find the ones you like best. Some popular scents include lavender, vanilla, and citrus.
  • Use Wax Melts for Different Purposes: Wax melts can serve multiple purposes beyond just adding fragrance to a room. For example, some wax melts are designed to repel insects or help with relaxation. Use this week to explore the different types of wax melts available and experiment with their different benefits. You can also try using wax melts to freshen up your car or gym bag.
  • Clean Your Wax Warmer: Regular cleaning of your wax warmer is crucial for optimal performance. Begin by allowing any leftover wax to cool and solidify. This step is important because attempting to clean the warmer while the wax is still hot can result in burns. Once the wax has cooled and solidified, warm it slightly by turning on the warmer for just a few minutes. This will make it easier to remove. Gently pop out the solid wax and discard it. Next, use cotton wool balls or a soft cloth to wipe down the interior, removing any residue or impurities. This process ensures that the scent is distributed evenly during future uses. Remember to let the warmer cool completely before cleaning to avoid burns and to maintain the longevity of your wax warmer.
  • Store Your Wax Melts Properly: To keep your wax melts fresh and fragrant, it's important to store them properly. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. You can store them in their original packaging or transfer them to an airtight container. Be sure to label the container with the scent and date of purchase to keep track of their freshness. If you have a large collection of wax melts, consider organizing them by scent or color for easy access. With proper storage, your wax melts can last for months and retain their scent potency.,

Additional Tips:

  • Don't leave your wax warmer unattended or near flammable objects.
  • Use a wax warmer with a timer or automatic shut-off to avoid overheating the wax.
  • Choose high-quality wax melts made with natural ingredients for a more pleasant and long-lasting scent.
  • Don't mix wax melts from different brands as they may not be compatible.
