Proper Storage of Wax Melts

To ensure your wax melts retain their potency, it’s essential to store them correctly. Keep your wax melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent them from melting.

Cleaning Your Wax Burner

Regular cleaning of your wax burner is crucial to maintain its efficiency and prolong its lifespan. After your wax melts have finished releasing their fragrance, let the wax cool and harden. You can then gently remove it using a non-abrasive tool.

For a deep clean, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. This will help to eliminate old wax residue and scent build-up, ensuring that your strong scented wax melts perform at their best each time.

Safety First

Safety should always be a priority when using wax burners. Ensure your burner is on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never leave it unattended, especially in the presence of children or pets.
