🔥 Wax Melt Safety Guide
A few simple tips to make sure you enjoy your melts safely and get the very best from them:
Using the Right Warmer
- Always use a proper wax melt warmer, either electric or tealight powered.
- If you use a tealight warmer, choose a taller design. Short, shallow burners can overheat the wax and shorten scent life.
Tealights
- Use only 4-hour tealights unless your burner clearly states it is safe for larger ones.
- Never use 8-hour tealights in standard burners — they can cause overheating, cracks, or even breakage.
Safe Placement
- Place your warmer on a heat-resistant surface.
- Keep it somewhere well ventilated so the fragrance can spread evenly.
Crystals and Adornments
- If your melt contains crystal chips, remove them before adding the wax to your warmer.
- You can also scoop them out carefully with tweezers once the wax has melted.
- Rinse under warm water and they will be shiny and ready to use again.
- Never leave crystals in hot wax.
General Safety
- Keep all melts, warmers, and tealights out of reach of children and pets.
- Remove all packaging before use.
- Never touch melted wax, it will be hot.
- Never leave a warmer unattended while in use.
Changing Your Wax
- Allow the wax to cool fully.
- Apply gentle pressure to one side of the hardened disc and it will usually pop out of the bowl.
- If it is stubborn, you can place the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes, then try again.
