🕯️ How to Get the Best Burn from Your Wax Melts

(No candles here – just extra-strong wax melts done right.)

✅ 1. Use the Right Burner

For the strongest scent throw:

  • Tealight burner: Use a standard 4-hour tealight, not an 8-hour one (too hot!)
  • Electric burner: Choose one with a bulb or hot plate of 35-40W

✅ 2. Snap Smart

Break off just 1 segment of the snapbar (or a 10g piece) to start. Each piece is packed with fragrance – overfilling your burner won’t make it stronger, it’ll just waste wax.

✅ 3. Keep Your Burner Clean

Before adding a new scent, clean out the old one. See my blog post How to Clean Your Wax Melt Burner – The Easy Way

4. Burn Time Matters

Stick to 3-4 hours at a time for best results. Longer burns can dull the fragrance over time – a shorter session keeps it punchy.

✅ 5. Storage Tips

Store your melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. This protects the oils and keeps scents strong until you're ready to melt.

 

⚠️ Safety First

  • Never leave a burner unattended
  • Keep away from kids, pets, and anything flammable
  • Only use in burners made specifically for wax melts
