Strong Scent Wax Melt – Detol: A Fresh Blast of Pine

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Wax melts can be enjoyed in high-humidity areas like bathrooms, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Humidity can impact the way fragrance diffuses, as scent molecules need to cling to the air to disperse fully.

In spaces with heavy moisture, the fragrance can struggle to travel, making it harder to fill the room as effectively.

The good news? Our wax melts are loaded with 30% fragrance oil – that’s three times the typical amount – which gives them an added push, even in tricky spaces like humid bathrooms.

Here’s how to make the most of your wax melts in high-humidity areas:

Use a Full Tub for Scent Power: Humidity can weigh down scent diffusion, but with our melts’ high fragrance load, a full tub in your warmer will give the fragrance aroma the strength it needs to spread in a moisture-rich space.

The extra fragrance oil content ensures a long-lasting scent that clings to the air even when humidity is high.

Keep Some Airflow: To help the fragrance move, maintain a bit of airflow, like a slightly open window or bathroom fan. Ventilation allows the scent to circulate, countering the effect of moisture that can weigh down the fragrance throw.

Mind the Warmer Placement: Place your warmer on a dry, stable surface, away from direct water contact. This helps both your warmer and wax melt perform their best without interference from steam or splashes.

The material of your burner dish—whether it’s glass, ceramic, or metal—affects how the fragrance is released from your wax melts. Each material handles heat differently, which can influence how effectively the scent disperses and how long the fragrance lasts. Wattage also plays a role here, as higher wattages intensify heat, affecting the fragrance throw.

Here’s how each dish material impacts your wax melt experience:

Ceramic Dishes: Ceramic dishes are designed to withstand steady heat without overheating the wax, helping to prevent the fragrance from dissipating too quickly. Ceramic warms the wax at a stable, even rate, allowing the fragrance to release gradually. With the right wattage (typically around 20-40 watts), ceramic dishes offer a balanced scent experience without burning off the fragrance too quickly.

Glass Dishes: Glass heats up faster than ceramic, and with continuous heating, it can reach higher temperatures. This can lead to a strong, immediate scent throw but may also reduce longevity, as the fragrance oil in the melt evaporate more rapidly under the higher heat. Glass dishes are great for quick, bold scent release but may require more frequent wax changes if used with high wattages, as the scent can fade faster than with ceramic.

Metal Dishes: Metal dishes are excellent heat conductors and can reach high temperatures quickly, making them ideal for an immediate, intense fragrance throw. However, due to their high heat conductivity, they may cause the fragrance to evaporate at a faster rate, leading to shorter scent longevity. Metal dishes are best suited for shorter bursts of fragrance, as the higher heat can cook off the scent faster than ceramic or glass.

Choosing the Right Burner Dish Material for Your Needs:

Ceramic dishes are the most reliable for maintaining fragrance longevity, as they’re designed to withstand steady heat without overheating.

Glass and metal dishes are better suited for quick, strong bursts of scent, but they may reduce fragrance longevity, especially if used with high-wattage warmers. Ultimately, each material offers a unique scent experience, so it’s worth experimenting based on your preferences for scent throw and duration.   

Warm Water and White Vinegar Soak: Fill the dish with warm (not boiling) water and add a splash of white vinegar. Let it soak for 10–15 minutes to help loosen dye and glitter particles. Vinegar is gentle yet effective for lifting stains.

Baking Soda Paste: After soaking, make a thick paste with baking soda and a few drops of water. Apply this to the stained areas and use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub. Baking soda is mildly abrasive, helping to lift dye and glitter without scratching.

For Tougher Stains – Try The Pink Stuff: If stains persist, apply a tiny dab of The Pink Stuff on a damp cloth or sponge and gently work it into the stained areas. The Pink Stuff is more abrasive, so use it sparingly to avoid scratches. It’s particularly effective on dye stains and glitter residues.

Rubbing Alcohol for Dye Residue: For remaining dye stains, use a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and gently wipe the affected areas. Alcohol dissolves dye effectively, leaving the dish stain-free.

Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Prevent Future Stains:

To avoid repeat issues, use silicone liners in your warmer to catch any dyed or glittery wax melts. These make cleanup easy and protect your dish.
