Using scented wax bars to fill your space with fragrance is a simple and enjoyable process. The core method involves heating the wax in a dedicated warmer designed specifically for this purpose.
Here's a breakdown of the steps based on standard practice:
Getting Started with Wax Melts
To begin using scented wax bars (also known as wax melts or tarts), you'll need a few items.
- Wax Melts: Your chosen scented wax bars.
- Wax Warmer: An electric or tea light warmer specifically designed for wax melts.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Scented Wax Bars
The process is straightforward and involves placing the wax in the warmer and activating the heat source.
- #1. Find a Wax Melt or Tart Warmer. Ensure you have the correct device designed for melting wax safely.
- #2. Read the Instructions. Always consult the user manual for your specific warmer model for safety guidelines and operating procedures.
- #3. Choose your Wax Melts, Place a Wax Melt Inside the Warmer. Select the fragrance you want to use and place one or more wax cubes (as recommended by your warmer's instructions) into the dish or tray of the warmer.
- #4. Turn on Your Warmer. If it's an electric warmer, plug it in and flip the switch. If it's a tea light warmer, place a lit, unscented tea light beneath the dish. The heat will begin to melt the wax and release the fragrance.
- #5. Turn the Wax Warmer Off. Once you have achieved the desired level of fragrance or are leaving the area, turn off the electric warmer or extinguish the tea light candle.
- #6. Remove Your Wax. When the wax has cooled and solidified, you can remove it from the warmer dish. There are several methods for removal, such as heating it slightly to pop it out or using absorbent material.
- #7. You Can Reuse Your Scented Wax Cubes, Tarts, or Melts. The wax does not evaporate; only the fragrance oils dissipate over time. You can continue to reheat the same wax piece until the scent is no longer noticeable before replacing it with a new one.
By following these steps, you can safely and effectively use scented wax bars to enhance the ambiance of your home or office.
