How to Use Wax Melts – The Ultimate Guide

Wax melts are one of the easiest ways to enjoy long-lasting home fragrance. Made from natural soy wax, they’re wick-free, safe for cats and dogs, and super simple to use and highly cost effective.

Step 1: Pick Your Wax Melt Burner

Choose either:

  • A tea light burner – ceramic or glass with an unscented 4 hour tea light.

  • An electric wax melt warmer – flameless, plug-in, and fuss-free.

Step 2: Add Your Wax Melt

Break off one section of a snap bar or pop in a shaped melt like hearts, pumpkins, or ghosts.
👉 One piece is enough – no water or oil needed!

Step 3: Melt & Enjoy

  • Light your tea light or switch on your electric burner.

  • The soy wax will slowly melt, filling your home with fragrance for 8–12 hours per piece.

Step 4: Change the Wax

When the scent fades, remove it safely:

  • Cotton pad method: Warm for 30 seconds, soak up with pads.

  • Pop-out method: Let harden, then slide out once warmed slightly.
    🚫 Never pour wax down the sink, or lift your burner when hot.

Wax Melt Safety Tips

  • Always use a suitable burner.

  • Place on a heat-resistant surface.

  • Never leave tea lights unattended.

  • Keep out of reach of curious paws and little hands.
