The Beginner's Guide to Using Wax Melts: A Safe and Fragrant Alternative to Candles

Wax melts, also known as wax tarts or wax cubes, are a popular alternative to traditional candles for releasing fragrance in your home. These small pieces of scented wax are melted in a wax warmer, releasing their lovely aroma without the need for a wick or a flame. If you're new to using wax melts, this guide will teach you everything you need to know to get started.

First and foremost, you'll need a wax melt warmer. These come in a variety of styles:

Electric wax melt burners:

and Tea light wax melt burners:

To use the wax melts, simply place a couple of them (depending on the size of your warmer) in the dish of the warmer, turn it on, and wait for the wax to melt. As the wax melts, the fragrance will be released into the air, filling your room with a lovely scent.

When it comes to choosing wax melts, the options are endless. You can find wax melts in a wide variety of scents, including floral, fruit, and even food scents. Some wax melts are made with essential oils, which can offer additional benefits such as aromatherapy.

To ensure that your wax warmer and melts last as long as possible, be sure to clean your warmer after each use. This can be done by wiping it out with a paper towel or cloth while it is still warm and the wax is still melted. This will make it easier to clean and also prevent any build up of wax.
