A Guide to Wax Melt Care
1. Wax Melts Usage instructions
Simply place a single wax melt in the well of your electric wax melt warmer or ceramic dish of your wax burner and light an unscented tea light below. Once the wax is warm, it will melt and spread fragrance that will rapidly fill your indoor space. Always use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Only burn the wax melt on a level, fire resistant surface. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not put fingers or hands into the unit while lit. To reduce risk of injury, keep out of reach or children and pets. Do not leave unattended or burning out of sight. Place unit on a level and heat resistant surface away from other heat elements. Do not overfill the bowl, you can top up once the wax has melted. The burner may become hot; do not touch while in use as heated wax can burn. Allow to cool when finished using. Do not use metal objects to clean out wax; this may crack and damage the burner. See changing your wax melts on how is best to do this. See label on wax melts for further health and safety advice.
3. CHANGING YOUR WAX MELT
Historically, there are two ways that you can remove your used wax melts in order to start anew. We call it the hot or cold method - or liquid or hard.
If your warmer has been on and your wax is liquid, take two cotton balls, set them in the warmer tray, let it absorb and discard cotton balls. This is perfect for the warmers without removable lids/plugins. Then take a paper towel and wipe away any excess wax.
If your wax warmer is not on and the wax has hardened, we think it is easier to remove it by turning the warmer back on /relighting the tea light for 10-30 seconds so the wax loosens in the dish and is easier to remove as a solid piece. Apply a light amount of pressure to the melt and and the melt should pop out in a semi solid form. Be sure to wipe away any excess with a paper towel.
4. WAX MELT STORAGE
Wax melts are sensitive to light and temperature, you can avoid your wax melts from cracking and melting by storing in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep your wax melts dust free by keeping the extra wax in there clamshells or back in the sealed packaging dispatched to you in.
