There’s something magical about stepping into a home that instantly feels warm and inviting. The scent of freshly baked cookies, a cozy log fire, or crisp linens can transform any space into a sanctuary. If you’ve been looking for an easy and effective way to fill your home with beautiful fragrance, wax melts are the perfect solution. But if you’re new to wax melts, you might be wondering—how do you actually use them?
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about how to use wax melts, from choosing the right burner to making the most of your melts for long-lasting fragrance.
What Are Wax Melts?
Wax melts are small, scented wax pieces that slowly release fragrance when melted. Unlike candles, they don’t have a wick and require a wax burner to be used. They are a safer, flame-free alternative to candles when used with an electric burner and offer a more controlled scent experience.
Our wax melts come in a variety of scents, allowing you to switch up your home fragrance as often as you like. They are also available in mini discovery boxes, perfect for those who want to try different scents before committing to a larger quantity.
How to Use Wax Melts: Step-by-Step Guide
Choose Your Burner
Before you dive into the world of captivating scents, you'll need a wax melt warmer. There are two main types of burners:
Tealight Wax Burners – These classic warmers use a tealight candle to gently melt the wax. They're often beautifully designed, adding a touch of elegance to your decor.
Electric Wax Burners – These warmers use electricity to heat the wax, offering consistent heat. They offer a worry-free and flameless option for melting wax melts.
The choice depends on your preference. If you love the ambiance of candlelight, a tealight warmer might be perfect for you. But if you prefer convenience and being able to automatically turn the burner off, an electric warmer could be a better fit.
Selecting Your Wax Melts
Now for the fun part: choosing your wax melts! With countless scents available, from fruity and floral to gourmand and woody, there's something for everyone. Consider the mood you want to create in your space.
Relaxing Scents: Lavender, chamomile, and vanilla are known for their calming properties, perfect for creating a tranquil atmosphere in your bedroom or bathroom.
Uplifting Scents: Citrus scents like lemongrass & ginger can invigorate your senses, making them ideal for kitchens or home offices.
Festive Scents: Embrace the holidays with scents like Christmas Spice, Christmas tree, or gingerbread, filling your home with warmth and cheer.
How to Use Wax Melts
Once you have your warmer and wax melts ready, follow these simple steps:
Prepare Your Warmer: Place your tealight warmer on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. If using an electric warmer, simply plug it in.
Add Wax Melts: Place 1-2 wax melt cubes in the warmer's dish. Remember, a little goes a long way, so start with one and adjust as needed.
Heat and Enjoy: Light the tealight candle or turn on your electric warmer. As the wax melts, it will release its fragrance, filling your space with a delightful aroma.
Enjoy the Fragrance!
As the wax melts, the fragrance will begin to fill the room. This can take a few minutes, depending on the type of burner used.
Replacing the Wax
Once the wax no longer releases fragrance, it’s time to change it.
To remove wax easily:
Let it cool and solidify, then pop it out.
Use the cotton ball method: While the wax is still warm but not hot, place a cotton ball in the dish to absorb the melted wax, then wipe clean.
Freeze the dish for a few minutes—this helps solidified wax pop out effortlessly.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Wax Melts
Choose the Right Scent for the Right Room
Not all scents work in every room! Consider these pairings:
Lavender Spa or Fresh Linen for bedrooms—calming and relaxing.
Pumpkin Spice or Apple Pie for kitchens—warm and inviting.
Energizing scents like Lemongrass & Ginger for home offices.
Use the Right Amount of Wax
Overloading the burner with too much wax can reduce scent throw. One or two cubes at a time is enough.
Store Your Wax Melts Properly
To maintain fragrance strength, keep wax melts in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Clean Your Burner Regularly
Why Choose Wax Melts Over Candles?
Many people love wax melts because they last longer, are more versatile, and can be flame-free when used with an electric burner. They also let you switch scents more easily compared to a candle.
