How To Use Wax Melts

Wax melts have become a popular and easy way to fragrance your home, offering a safe and cost-effective alternative to candles. These small, scented wonders are easy to use and come in a variety of different scents to suit your preferences. In this blog post we will walk you through how to use wax melts to create a beautifully scented space in your home. 

What are wax melts? 

Wax melts are small scented pieces of wax that are designed to be melted slowly in a wax warmer, or wax melt burner. They come in a multitude of scents, making it easy to find one that suits your taste. To use a wax melt you will need a tealight or electric warmer, and a heat-resistant, safe and flat surface. 

How to use a wax melt

1) Choose your wax melts. 

Begin by selecting your favourite wax melts in a scent that appeals to you. There are lots of options, from floral and fruity, to perfume and seasonal scents. (Check ours out here: Lunar Fragrance's Wax Melts)

2) Prepare your wax melt burner. 

Whether you have an electric wax burner or a tealight burner, ensure it’s clean and in good working condition. Place it on a stable and heat-resistant surface. 

3) Break or cut the wax melt. 

Break or cut your wax melt into smaller pieces. This will help the wax melt evenly and release it’s fragrance more effectively. Our wax melts are 10 squares, and we recommend using 2 squares at a time. 

4) Place the wax melt in your wax melt burner. 

Put the small pieces of wax into the top dish or well of your wax melt warmer. Do make sure your burner is able to handle the amount of wax you are going to melt as some burner's bowls are smaller than others and you don’t want an overflow of hot wax. 

5) Heat the wax. 

If you have an electric wax warmer, simply turn it on. If you’re using a tealight warmer, light the candle. The heat will slowly melt the wax, releasing its scent into the air. 

6) Enjoy the fragrance.

As the wax melts, you’ll begin to smell the room filling with the delightful aroma of your chosen scent. 

7) Safety First. 

Always keep an eye on your wax melt burner, especially if you’re using a telaight candle. Make sure it’s placed on a heat-resistant surface and out of reach of children and pets. 

8) Replace and clean.

When the scent from your wax melt has diminished, let the wax cool and harden before removing it from the warmer. You can dispose of the used wax or save it for future use. (You can also pop the hardened wax in a drawer or a cupboard and use them as a free air freshener). 

Using wax melts is a simple yet effective way to fill your home with your favourite scents. Whether you’re looking to create a calming atmosphere or a festive environment, wax melts provide an easy and safe solution. So, pick your favourite scents, fire up your warmer, and let the scents transport you and elevate your space.
