So what is a wax melt and how do I use it?

The wax melt has a similar appearance as a candle however for the purpose of releasing its scent, you slowly heat it up over an electric lightbulb or tealight with a candle melt burner instead of an flame. Here are a few reasons why we believe the wax melt should be your most wanted home accessory:

Cost

We suggest using 2 cubes of the wax melt bar or one section from one of our pots for more than 12 hours of a strong long-lasting, long-lasting scent. At PS3 the bar costs just 60p and includes tealights . To get the same burn duration in a candle bought that is sold by a reputable high-street retailer, you’ll be spending about PS1.99 that’s more than twice the cost! The melters also are unlimitedly recyclable, allowing you to switch the type of wax you want to use without losing the style of your home , or trade them with other acquaintances.

Convenience

If you are using candles, be aware of the security of your home more carefully and keep the candles in a safe place away from anything which could be flammable, or in areas where it might be knocked over and away from children, pets and any other items that can gather soot. Even though this is the case to a certain degree with tealights, electric wax melters can be found in varieties, from table top models like these, to ones that fit in your sockets for plugs, to allow you more flexibility. Without naked flames and with lower temperatures, electric burners are able to be used with more peace of mind.

Burn time

We suggest that you melt two cubes of a bar of wax for 12-18 hours of a strong and long-lasting scent. With every 10 cube bar, you will get more than 60 hours burning. The burn time can be swappedout, blended and mixed with other melts of wax to create your personal scent for your home.

Soot

Scented candles aren’t able to burn properly due to the additives and scents that are added to the wax mix come into close contact with flames and cause sooting that can make the holders darker and leave marks on your furniture and walls. Candle makers suggest trimming the flame’s wick prior to every burn to minimize thisissue, but this recommendation isn’t often followed and is not widely recognized. A wick’s draft can cause flickering, which can increase the amount of soot produced.

The best wax melts however , can be used with no naked flames by using an electric melter, which creates zero soot. If you are using an electric tealight melter, we recommend that you use an unscented tealight that lasts for 4 hours to ensure safety. This makes it less necessary to do candle maintenance , like trimming the wick, since it is usually a just one burning duration and thus a one use. To preserve the heat generated by the tealight that melts the wax, many tealight melters are covered in a semi-closed enclosure, which shields the walls from stains and the flame from drafts, which results in a more clean burn.

Waste

In both types of burners that melt wax, it’s melting significantly more evenly, regardless of the time you’ve lit it for and you won’t feel wax tunneling like you do with candles, which means you can be sure that the fragrance has been released from entire wax to ensure maximum effect.
