🔥 2. How to Use Wax Melts Safely

Wax melts are a fantastic flameless way to fill your home with fragrance — but like any home fragrance product, they need to be used safely.

1. Always Use a Proper Wax Warmer

Choose a wax warmer designed specifically for melts (electric or tealight-based). Never place wax directly on a heat source.

2. Don’t Overfill Your Burner

Add one melt at a time to avoid overheating or spills.

3. Keep Away from Children & Pets

Warmers should be placed on a stable, heatproof surface and out of reach of little hands and curious paws.

4. Never Leave a Warmer Unattended

Even electric warmers need to be monitored.

5. Dispose of Used Wax Properly

Allow the wax to cool and solidify before removing.

🧺 5. How to Store Wax Melts (For Maximum Scent Throw)

To keep your wax melts smelling fresh and strong, proper storage is essential.

1. Keep Them in an Airtight Container

Exposure to air can weaken fragrance over time.

2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Heat can cause wax to soften and lose scent.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight

UV light breaks down fragrance molecules.

4. Separate Strong Scents

Store different fragrances separately to prevent scent blending.
