How to use a Candle Holder?

Are you new to the world of wax burners or looking to enhance your experience with them? Understanding the ins and outs of using a wax burner can make a significant difference in both efficiency and enjoyment. Let's delve into the basics of using a wax burner, answering common questions along the way.

 

What Exactly is a Wax Burner? 

Wax burners, also known as wax warmers, serve the primary purpose of gently heating scented wax melts to release their fragrance into your space. These melts, akin to wickless candles, come in various shapes and scents, offering a versatile way to elevate your environment's ambiance.

 

How to Use a Wax Burner Using a wax burner effectively involves a few simple steps:

1. Choose Your Wax Melts: With countless options available, select wax melts that resonate with your preferences. Whether it's floral, fruity, or any other scent profile, there's a wax melt to suit your taste.
   
   
2. Determine Quantity: The optimal number of wax melts depends on their size and your burner's capacity. As a general rule, start with one to two cubes for bar melts, adjusting based on the size of your burner.
   
   
3. Start Melting: Depending on your burner type, initiate the melting process. For tea light warmers, light a tea light and place it beneath the dish. Electric warmers require a simple plug-and-play approach.
   
   
4. Enjoy the Fragrance: As the wax melts, it releases its captivating aroma, enhancing the atmosphere of your home or workspace.

 

How Long Does Wax Melts Last For? 

The duration of fragrance varies based on several factors, including the type of warmer used, the wax composition, and storage conditions. Typically, soy wax melts offer a longer-lasting scent compared to other wax types. Additionally, proper storage in a cool, dark place can help preserve their potency.

 

Knowing When to Replace Your Wax Melts?

If you notice a diminishing scent, it might be time to replace your wax melts. However, be mindful of nose blindness, where your olfactory senses become accustomed to the fragrance. If refreshing your senses doesn't revive the scent, it's likely time for new melts.

 

Cleaning Your Wax Burner?

Before adding new melts, ensure your burner is clean. A simple method involves freezing the dish for a few minutes, allowing the wax to solidify for easy removal. Once removed, wipe the dish clean with a paper towel, readying it for your next fragrant experience.
