Introduction
Wax melts are a fantastic way to enjoy delightful scents in your space. But what should you do with old wax melts once they've lost their scent? Don't throw them away just yet as we explore creative and sustainable ways to reuse and refresh your old wax melts, ensuring you get every little bit of use from them!
How many times can wax melts be reused?
Wax melts do not disappear with use. Instead, their fragrance will evaporate and you may even see fragrance oil vapour evaporating when melting your wax. Once the smell has gone completely, you'll know that it's time to replace them.
We recommend snapping 1 or 2 cubes of a wax melt snap bar and placing these into your wax melt burner. Pop an unscented tealight underneath and enjoy the incredible scent. Each cube can provide up to 10 hours of fragrance and can be melted and re-melted until the fragrance has gone.
Planet Wax Co wax melts snap bars can also be used with electric wax burners but tea-light burners are highly recommend for those who prefer a super-strong, intense scent throw.
Fragrance times do vary between scents and results may vary depending on your wax burner of choice.
Refreshing Old Wax Melts
If you're not ready to part with your old wax melts, consider giving them a refresh. Add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax to revive the scent. Mix well and pour it back into your warmer. This simple trick can extend the life of your old wax melts.
Make Wax Sachets
Transform your old wax melts into delightful wax sachets. To do this, melt the remaining wax and pour it into silicone moulds or small, decorative containers. Add dried flowers, herbs, or even a drop of essential oil to enhance the scent. Once the wax solidifies, you'll have charming wax sachets to freshen up your drawers or closets.
Wax Fire Starters
Enhance your fireside experience by repurposing old wax melts as fire starters. Melt the wax and dip some pinecones or cotton balls into it. Once the wax hardens, you'll have effective fire starters that ignite easily and provide a pleasant scent while you cosy up by the fireplace.
