HOW TO USE WAX MELTS

Wax melts are pieces of scented wax, often creatively crafted in various shapes, colours, and sizes. When these wax pieces are gently heated in the top of an oil burner, they release a delightful aroma into the room. Unlike traditional candles, wax melts do not have a wick for direct ignition. Depending on their form, they might be referred to as wax tarts or cubes. In our collection, you'll discover wax melts designed as charming little green hearts.

Our wax melts are expertly crafted from a soy wax blend infused with rich fragrances, ensuring a long-lasting and captivating scent experience. They are not only popular but also easy to use and budget-friendly, making them a fantastic choice for adding fragrance to your home.

How to Use Wax Melts?

To enjoy the enchanting scents of wax melts, you'll need an oil burner. Here's how to use them:

1. Place a couple of wax melts into the top reservoir of your oil burner, adjusting the quantity to achieve your desired fragrance strength.
2. If you're using an electric burner, follow the manufacturer's instructions to activate it. For a tea light oil burner, insert a tea light into the recess at the bottom of the burner and light it. The heat from the flame below will gently melt the wax, releasing the delightful scent into your space.
3. When you wish to cease the fragrance release, either blow out the tea light or switch off your electric burner.

The duration of wax melts varies depending on the size and number of melts used & the burner type you use. Our 50g melts can provide up to 100 hours of fragrant bliss. Where as our 25g snap bars will provide up to 50 hours

The scent throw can vary based on the type of burner used. A candle-aided burner and an electric burner have distinct characteristics in terms of scent release:

1. Candle-Aided Burner: When using a candle-powered burner, higher temperatures are typically generated, resulting in a potent and immediate scent throw. However, this strong scent is often shorter-lived as the wax melts quickly. While the fragrance is intense, it may not last as long.
2. Electric Burner: Electric burners generally provide lower and more consistent heat. This results in a longer-lasting scent throw, albeit with a more subtle and gradual release of fragrance. The scent may be milder but extends over a more extended period.

 Ultimately, the choice between a candle-aided burner and an electric burner depends on your preference for either a strong but shorter burst of fragrance or a more subtle, enduring scent.

Always adhere to the safety guidelines of your oil burner, as some may recommend not exceeding a certain duration of continuous use.

Similar to many fragranced products, if left unused for an extended period, wax melts may lose their scent and effectiveness. For the best scent experience, we recommend using our wax melts within 12 months of purchase. When storing them for an extended period, keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or fluorescent light to prevent any adverse effects of light or temperature on the wax. 

After multiple uses, you'll notice that your wax melts gradually lose their fragrance and need replacement. Before introducing new melts or changing fragrances, it's essential to remove the old wax from your oil burner. 

Here's how:

1. Wait until both the wax and oil burner have completely cooled.
2. Pop out the cooled wax disk from the reservoir and dispose of it.
3. For any stubborn remnants of old wax melts, gently use a spoon to scoop them out. You can soak the remaining wax with a cotton wool ball for easy removal.
4. Clean the oil burner, removing any remaining wax residue with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5. Allow your oil burner to dry thoroughly before adding new wax melts to the top reservoir, allowing you to continue enjoying your favourite scents.

 We prefer using wax melt liners because they simplify the process of replacing wax, you may use a cotton ball to soak up the left over wax and dispose of appropriately. 

Wax melt liners should NOT be used with electric burners, as they can reduce the intensity of the fragrance.
