Introduction
Planet Wax Co soy wax melts have become a beloved choice for filling the air with delightful scents. In this blog post, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of how to use wax melts to create a fragrant ambience for your space.
What You'll Need
- A Wax Melt Burner
Choose a wax melt burner that suits your style and preferences. These come in various designs - from electric wax melt burners to those that use tealight candles as a heat source.
- Tealight Candles (Not applicable when using an electric wax melt burner)
If your wax melt burner uses a tealight candle for heating, make sure you have one on hand (and a lighter or match to light it with).
- Wax Melts
Select your favourite Planet Wax Co wax melts in the scents that resonate with your mood or the ambience you wish to create.
How to use Wax Melts in a Wax Melt Burner Step-by-Step:
Choose a Safe Location - Place your wax melt burner on a stable and heat-resistant surface. Ensure it's on a level surface, away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets.
Prepare your Wax Melt(s) - Planet Wax Co wax melts are snap bars, each with 10 individual chunks that can quite literally be 'snapped' off and popped into your wax melt burner. We recommend melting 1 or 2 pieces at a time depending on the size of your space and your desired strength of the fragrance.
Place the Wax Melt in the dish - Lift the lid of the top dish or pop the bowl onto the top of your wax melt burner and carefully place the wax melt(s) in it.
Ignite the Tealight candle - If your burner uses a tea-light candle as a heat source, light the candle and place it in the lower compartment of the burner. Make sure it's centred and secure. Our best soy wax melts do also work with an electric burner but we recommend using a tealight burner for best results.
Warm the Wax - As the tealight candle burns or the electric warmer heats up, the wax in the dish will begin to melt. This gradual heating process allows the fragrance to disperse gently into the air.
Enjoy the Fragrance - Once the wax is melted, sit back and enjoy the captivating aromas of Planet Wax Co soy wax melts. The scent will fill your space, creating a pleasant ambience, with each chunk so fragrant that you can melt and re-melt again.
Monitor and Safety - Never leave your wax melt burner unattended while in use. Keep an eye on the candle flame or electric warmer to ensure safe operation. If you need to extinguish the tealight candle, use a snuffer or a candle extinguisher.
Changing the Wax - When you're ready to switch scents or the fragrance of the current wax melt diminishes, allow the wax to cool and solidify. You can then remove it from the dish and replace it with a new wax melt. You can also gently pop some kitchen roll on the top of your burner (whilst the wax is still warm) to soak up the melted wax. Take care not to burn yourself or spill melted wax on furniture or carpets.
Clean Up - Wax melt burners are typically easy to clean. Once the used wax has been removed, you can also wipe down the dish if needed with a damp cloth and dry it with a paper towel or kitchen roll.
