🕯️ 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
