How do you use wax melts in 5 easy steps

How to use wax melts summary:

Wax melts are a solid piece of wax made from either paraffin wax, coconut wax, beeswax or soy wax (all of our wax melts are made from 100% soy wax). These blocks of wax are shaped using a mould and fragrance with the desired fragrance oil. 

Wax melts are made from similar kind of wax as candles but just don't have the wick as wax melts are placed in a wax melt burner dish and heated with a tea light or electric if you have an electric burner.

We've put together a 5 step guide on how to easily use your wax melts: 

  1. Open your wax melt packet or container
  2. Either take a couple of wax melts or snap off a couple of segments from your snapbar and clamshell
  3. Place 1 - 2 wax melts into your tea light or electric wax melt burner dish
  4. Turn your electric burner or light a tea light and place it under the burner dish
  5. Sit back and relax whilst the wax melt fragrance fills your home

What is a wax melt?

A wax melt is a piece wax which has been combined with a particular fragrance oil scent which when burnt in an electric burner or tea light burner will release the fragrance into your the air and through your home. 

The process of making a wax melt is to melt wax (which in our case is 100% soy wax) and add fragrance oil at the correct temperature to ensure each of our wax melts offer the highest scent through. Then after than we can wax melt dye and mica power depending on the fragrance’s overall design and pour into moulds and air cool for 5 hours.

What to do with your wax melt when you have finished with it?

Once you have finished with your wax melt, let the wax pool cool down to become a solid piece of wax. When you want to change your wax melt for new scent warm the wax melt for around 10 seconds to soften and then slide out of the burner. Give your burner a quick wipe with a clean cloth or a piece of kitchen towel and pop your new wax melt into the burner and begin the process again.
