How to Use Wax Melts (and Make Them Last)
Everything you need to know about soy wax melts: which warmer to use, how many cubes, and when to change them.
Wax melts give you all the scent of a candle without a flame. They're also an easy way to try a new scent before you buy the candle.
What you need
An electric wax warmer. We recommend a UL listed electric warmer made for wax melts.
How to use them
- Break off one or two cubes from the package. Each package holds 6 cubes.
- Place them in the dish of your warmer and turn it on.
- Give it a few minutes to melt and fill the room. Add another cube for a stronger scent.
When to change them
When you can't smell the scent anymore, turn off the warmer and let the wax cool and harden. Pop it out of the dish and add fresh cubes. Many people like to switch scents with the seasons: fresh scents in summer, cozy and spiced in the fall, evergreen at Christmas.
Use them safely
- Don't leave a warmer on when no one is home.
- Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Use it in a well-ventilated room, away from anything flammable.
Our wax melts
Every melt is hand-poured with natural soy wax and phthalate-free fragrance oils, in the same scents as our candles.
