How to Change Wax Melts in Your Warmer
Changing wax melts in your warmer is a quick and easy way to keep your home’s scent fresh and vibrant. When it’s time to swap out an old fragrance, simply turn off the warmer and allow the wax to cool slightly. For an effortless removal, try the freezer method: once the wax hardens, pop the warmer dish in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This cooling trick makes the wax contract, allowing it to slide out smoothly with a gentle press. Alternatively, if you prefer a faster method, place a few cotton balls in the warmer while the wax is still soft; they’ll absorb the wax, making cleanup a breeze. After removing the wax, a quick wipe of the warmer dish with a cloth or paper towel will prepare it for the next melt.
If you’d like to store partially used wax melts for future use, let the wax harden before removing it and placing it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Labeling the bags with scent names is helpful for rotating through your favorite fragrances easily. This way, you can switch between scents without waste and keep each fragrance fresh until you're ready to enjoy it again. Changing and storing your wax melts with these simple tips will make it easy to customize your space with new aromas whenever you like!
What is the best type of wax melt?
Soy wax is often considered one of the best choices for wax melts due to its natural, eco-friendly nature. Derived from soybeans, soy wax is fully biodegradable and releases a clean, lasting fragrance. This makes it a sustainable choice for those who prioritize environmentally friendly home fragrances.
Do wax melts work better than candles?
Wax melts generally outlast candles, as they release fragrance slowly over multiple uses. Unlike candles, which burn down with each use, wax melts gradually release scent until the wax is fully depleted. A single wax melt can fill a room with fragrance for up to 12 hours, making them a long-lasting option.
Do wax melts make your room smell good?
Though small, wax melts can have a big impact on a room's fragrance. When used properly, they provide a strong, consistent scent that can make any space smell amazing. Using them correctly is key to maximizing their scent throw and lifespan, ensuring a rich and lasting aroma throughout your home.
So maybe you’re drawn to the comforting notes of vanilla and spices, the freshness of citrus and herbs, or the touch of the outdoors. But with so many options, you can easily switch scents, mix blends, or stick to your tried-and-true favorites.
