Wax melts

Wax melts are a popular and convenient way to enjoy fragrance in your home. Proper care and usage can ensure you get the most out of your wax melts. Here are some tips for keeping your wax melts in top condition:

1. Choose the Right Wax Warmer

• Use a compatible warmer: Ensure your wax warmer is designed for wax melts. There are electric and tea-light warmers available, so choose one that fits your preferences. Avoid using candles not meant for melts, as they can burn the wax too hot, altering its scent.
• Temperature matters: Wax melts release fragrance when they are warmed at the right temperature. Overheating can cause the scent to burn off quickly.

2. Store Wax Melts Properly

• Cool, dry place: Keep your wax melts in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps maintain their scent and texture.
• Airtight containers: Store unused wax melts in airtight containers or resealable bags to prevent them from losing their fragrance over time.

3. Don’t Overfill Your Warmer

• Use small pieces: You don't need to melt an entire wax melt at once. Start with one or two pieces and see how well they fill your space with fragrance. Overfilling can cause the wax to pool over the sides and affect its burning quality.

4. Turn Off When Not in Use

• Safety first: Always turn off your warmer when you leave the room or before you go to bed. This prevents overheating and extends the life of the wax melt.

5. Reusing Wax Melts

• How to know when to replace: When the fragrance starts to fade or the wax has completely melted down, it's time to replace the wax. Wax melts generally last 4-8 hours of use per piece.
• Reuse with caution: Some wax melts can be reused a couple of times until the scent is no longer strong, but it's important not to leave wax in the warmer for too long as it may burn and lose its fragrance.

6. Dispose of Old Wax Properly

• Cleaning the warmer: To remove old wax from your warmer, you can let it cool and then gently remove it, or use cotton balls to soak up the wax. If it’s tough to remove, place the warmer in the freezer for a short time to harden the wax, making it easier to pop out.
• Disposal tips: Dispose of the wax in the trash (not down the drain) to avoid clogging pipes.

7. Avoid Mixing Scents

• Stick to one fragrance: While mixing scents can sometimes create unique blends, it can also lead to overwhelming or unpleasant smells. It’s generally better to stick with one fragrance per warming session, especially if you’re using a stronger scent.

By following these wax melt care tips, you can enjoy consistent, long-lasting fragrance in your home while ensuring your wax melts burn safely and efficiently.
