What Are Wax Melts & How to Use Them: Strongest Smelling Wax Melts UK
Let's be real, candles are great and all, but they've got some drawbacks.
Open flames, soot, and that whole fire hazard thing can be a bit of a buzzkill.
Enter wax melts, the unsung heroes of home fragrance.
These little beauties are basically scented wax cubes that melt when heated, releasing their fragrance without any of the candle drama.
Why Choose Wax Melts Over Candles?
| No Flame, No Problem | Wax melts are heated by a warmer, not a flame. This means no fire risk, no soot, and no worries about accidentally burning down your house while you're trying to chill. |
| Long-Lasting Fragrance | A little wax melt can go a long way. You can melt and re-melt them until the scent is gone, getting way more bang for your buck than a candle. |
| Variety is the Spice of Life | Wax melts come in a mind-boggling array of scents, from fresh and clean to warm and cosy , even the smell of fresh cut grass. You can even find seasonal and holiday scents to keep things interesting. |
| Easy Peasy | Using wax melts is a breeze. Pop one in your warmer, turn it on, and let the good times roll. No matches, no wicks, no fuss. |
| Cheaper Than Candles | Wax melts are a fraction of the price of candles, so you can indulge in your scent obsession without breaking the bank. |
Melting It Down: Wax Melt Basics
| Unwrap the Goodness |
First things first, get that wax melt out of its packaging. It's been dying to escape! Use a safe amount of wax in your burner make sure not to use too much that the wax over fills the dish. |
| Melt Away |
Pop that bad boy into the warmer and let the magic happen. The wax will start to melt, filling your home with delicious smells within minutes. |
| Chill and Repeat | Once the warmer's off, the wax will harden back up. But unlike a candle, a wax melt is a gift that keeps on giving. Keep melting it until the scent fades away, wax melts don't evaporate like candles. Want to get the most from your melts, see my blog on top tips - SEE HERE |
| Clean Break | Ready for a new scent? Wait until the wax is a bit melted, then give it a gentle nudge. It should slide right out. Use a cotton ball to soak up any leftover wax and toss it in the bin. Simple as that. See my blog on methods to cleaning your burner dish. SEE HERE |
Wax Melt Safety: Don't Be a Melt
| Keep an Eye On It | Don't leave your warmer unattended, especially around curious pets or kids. Melted wax is hot, and we don't want any waxed fur or fingers. |
| Easy on the Wax | Don't overfill your warmer. A little wax goes a long way, and nobody likes a waxy mess. |
| No Snacking | Wax melts are for smelling, not eating. So, unless you're into weird diets, keep them away from your mouth. |
| Don't Be a Plumber's Nightmare | Please, for the love of all things good, don't pour melted wax down the drain. Your pipes will thank you. |
| Let It Cool | Your warmer will be hot even after you turn it off. Let it cool down completely before you touch it. |
| No Funny Business | Water, fragrance oils, and random debris have no place in your wax melt burner. Keep it clean, and it'll keep you happy. |
| Tea Light Tips | If you're using a tea light warmer, use only unscented 4-hour tea lights, and never stack them. Overheating is a burner's worst enemy. See my blog to see what the difference is between tealight burners and oil burners and safety tips. SEE HERE |
