FAQ

WHAT ARE SCENTED WAX MELTS? 

Scented melts are a wonderful alternative to using scented candles, they are small shapes/blocks of scented wax which melt in a burner releasing a wonderful fragrance wherever you choose to use them. You will usually find that the aroma from wax melts is stronger than a scented candle. 

WHAT IS A MELT BURNER (MELTER)?

There are 2 types of wax burners, traditional tea light (small candle) burners, with which a lit tea light is placed under the bowl to melt the wax, or electric burners, which plug into an electrical socket allowing heat to melt the wax. 

HOW DO YOU USE THEM?

Simply pop the required amount (depending on the burner size) into the top (bowl, dish) of a melt burner and let the wonderful scents fill your home. (see safety instructions below these FAQs)

WHICH TYPE OF BURNER SHOULD I USE?

This all depends on personal preference. Tea light burners have an open flame beneath the bowl, whilst electric burners have the heat from an element/bulb. Many take into consideration the costs of tea lights vs electricity usage. Also in consideration is that traditional types will have a stronger scent throw than an electric burner, but the scent given from the electric type will last slightly longer as the fragrance is burning at a lower temperature.  

HOW DO I REMOVE THE WAX FROM THE BURNER ONCE THE SCENT HAS GONE?

Unlike scented candles, the wax in a burner will not disappear, the scent will simply burn away, once the smell had faded or disappeared you can do the following 

  • If the wax is still warm (liquid), it can be soaked up with kitchen roll or cotton wool balls and then throw away  

  • If the wax is cold and solid a lit tea light can be placed underneath or the electric burner can be switched on for a minute or so. The wax should begin to melt slightly from the bottom, releasing it from the dish so the solid block can be removed and thrown away. 

HOW LONG DOES THE SCENT LAST?

After extensive testing and feedback from customers each melt bar should last anywhere between 16 - 24 hours of scent, this all depends on what type of burner is being used, please also bear in mind that each scent will have a naturally different strength of smell with some scents being more delicate than others. However we do pride ourselves in only using the best ingredients/fragrances we can find.
