FAQs

What are wax melts and how do they work?
Wax melts are small, scented wax pieces that are melted using a warmer to release fragrance into the air. They do not have wicks like candles; instead, a heat source warms the wax from below, allowing the scent to disperse gradually.

How long do wax melts last?
The duration of the scent from wax melts can vary based on factors such as the type of wax, the size of the melt, and the heat used. Generally, each melt can last anywhere from 10 to 30 hours, depending on these factors.

Can I mix different wax melt scents?
Absolutely! Mixing different wax melt scents can create unique fragrance combinations that enhance your space. Start by combining similar scent profiles, such as fruity and floral, to find pleasing blends.

What is the best way to store wax melts?
To maintain the potency of your wax melts, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Airtight containers or zip-lock bags can help preserve their fragrance for longer.

Is it safe to leave wax melts on overnight?
It is generally not recommended to leave wax melts on unattended for long periods, including overnight. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and ensure you have a proper wax warmer that is safely designed for continuous use.

How do I clean my wax warmer?
To clean your wax warmer, turn it off and let it cool down. Once cooled, you can wipe away the melted wax with a paper towel or cotton balls. For any residue, use a soft cloth and a mixture of warm water and mild soap.

Are there any allergens in wax melts I should be aware of?
Some wax melts may contain allergens or irritants, such as essential oils or synthetic fragrances. Always check the ingredients list before purchasing and consider consulting with a medical professional if you have sensitivities.

How can I tell if my wax melts are of good quality?
Quality wax melts typically have a strong, pleasant scent and are made from high-quality wax, such as soy or beeswax. Additionally, they should have a consistent texture and colour, without any uneven surfaces or air bubbles.

What are the environmental impacts of using wax melts?
Choosing eco-friendly wax melts, made from natural ingredients and sustainable practices, can help minimise your environmental impact. Look for products that come in recyclable packaging and are free from harmful chemicals.
