How to Use Wax Melts

Using wax melts is simple and enjoyable. Place 1-2 botanical wax melts on your wax burner. Ensure your burner is suited to its size and your scent preference. Light a tea light underneath and let the wax melt, releasing its fragrance. Any white vapour you see is the scent dispersing, not smoke.

Why Use Wax Melts?

Wax melts are an affordable and flexible way to enjoy home fragrances. They allow you to switch scents easily, making them perfect for those who love variety.

Wax Melts vs. Candles: Which is Better?

Wax melts offer a flameless option when used with electric burners, making them a safer choice for homes with children or pets. They also let you experiment with different scents without committing to a whole candle.

How Long Do Wax Melts Last?

When stored properly, wax melts can last up to two years. Once melted, a single wax melt provides hours of fragrance, giving great value. Ensure they are stored in a cool dry place away from heat and sunlight.

Why Has My Wax Melt Lost Its Scent?

Over time, fragrance oils naturally dissipate. When you can no longer smell your wax melt, it’s time to replace it with a fresh one.

How Many Times Can You Use a Wax Melt?

Most wax melts can be used for at least two full tea light cycles (each lasting 3-4 hours). Once the scent fades, replace the melt.

How to Remove Used Wax Melts

Let the wax cool completely before removing it. Gently pop it out rather than scraping to protect your burner. A cool room helps solidify the wax for easier removal. Kindly Cosy wax melts, made from rapeseed and coconut wax, are designed for easy removal.

Choosing the Right Wax Burner

Invest in a high-quality wax melt burner. Smaller burners, typically designed for essential oils, burn wax melts faster. Check for cracks before use to ensure safety.

Best Tea Lights for Wax Burners

Use unscented tea lights in your wax burner. Avoid 8-hour tea lights, as wax burners should not be used for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating.

Are Wax Melts Safe?

Choose premium, non-toxic wax melts. At Kindly Cosy, we use natural, non-GMO rapeseed and coconut wax, free from additives. Our fragrances are phthalate-free, and we avoid artificial colourings, ensuring a pure and safe experience. We also add dried botanicals for a natural touch.
