How to Make Wax Melts Last Longer: Best Wax
Think your wax melts have lost their mojo? It might not be the wax, it might be your nose!
Why Is My Wax Melt Not Smelling as Strong?
Our noses get a bit bored with the same scent after a while. It's called nose blindness (fancy science term: anosmia). You might not notice it, but trust me, your mates popping by for a cuppa will definitely still smell your Nag Champa melt.
Outsmart Your Sniffer
So, how do you outsmart your sniffer? It's simple: switch up your scents regularly! Think of it as a refresh button for your nose. Not only will this prevent nose blindness, but it'll also keep your home smelling fresh and exciting. And who doesn't love a bit of variety in their life?
Mix it up, try new scents, and keep your home smelling as vibrant as your social media feed.
Daya's Tips for Long-Lasting Scent
Timing is Everything
Let's be real, you wouldn't leave the heating on all day when you're out. So why waste precious melts?
Invest in a timer and ditch the "always on" approach. Your wax warmer isn't a marathon runner; it needs a break!
By setting a timer, you're not just saving your melts from burning out too quickly, you're saving money too!
Picture this: a gorgeous scent welcoming you home after a long day at work and that stressful commute. Pure bliss, right?
Well, that's the power of a well-timed wax melt. Set your timer for 15-30 minutes before you're due home, and you'll walk into a fragrant haven every time. It's like a hug for your senses after a tough day.
Clean Your Warmer
Leftover wax residue can trap fragrance molecules, preventing them from wafting through your home.
So, give your warmer a quick wipe-down after each use.
If you've got stubborn stains, Pink Stuff (that miracle cleaning paste) usually does the trick. Just remember to give it a good rinse afterwards.
Bonus points if you use our Dayas Essence wax melts – no messy dyes or glitter to clean up!
Low and Slow Wins the Fragrance Race
Cranking up the heat on your warmer is like cremating your wax melt.
High heat burns through the fragrance oil quickly, leaving you with a short-lived scent.
So, opt for a medium-wattage electric warmer (20-40 watts) for a gentler, longer-lasting fragrance experience. If you're using a tealight warmer, skip the oil burners (they burn too hot!) and NEVER stack tealights or use 8 hour candles – it's a fire hazard and a waste of your precious melts.
Location, Location, Location
Don't just stick your warmer wherever – think of it as a piece of home decor!
Avoid drafty areas like windowsills and enclosed spaces like bookcases, as these can mess with the fragrance flow.
Instead, choose a central location away from direct heat sources, and let those lovely scents work their magic.
Ditch the Weak Scents and Go for Bold
Tired of wax melts that barely scent your room? I get it!
That's why Dayas Essence wax melts are packed with three times more fragrance oil than your average melt. I'm talking a massive 30% concentration for intense, long-lasting aromas that dominate every corner, even multiple rooms!
If you crave immediate impact and incredible value, it's time to supercharge your scent game.
