How to Use Cuttable Wax Melts: Step-by-Step Instructions
**1. Prepare Your Wax Warmer:
- Ensure your wax warmer is clean and set up in a safe, stable location. Make sure it’s compatible with wax melts (i.e., not too small for the amount of wax you plan to use).
**2. Cut the Wax Melt:
- Use a clean, wax cutter to cut the wax melt into smaller pieces. Depending on the size of your warmer and the intensity of fragrance you prefer, you can cut it into smaller chunks or a few large pieces.
**3. Place the Wax Pieces in the Warmer:
- Put the cut wax pieces into the bowl or dish of the wax warmer. Ensure the pieces are evenly distributed to allow for even melting.
**4. Turn On the Warmer:
- If you’re using an electric warmer, plug it in and turn it on. If you’re using a tealight warmer, light the tealight candle beneath the dish.
**5. Allow the Wax to Melt:
- Let the wax melt completely. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes. The wax will turn into a liquid state, releasing its fragrance.
**6. Enjoy the Fragrance:
- As the wax melts, it will begin to release its scent. Enjoy the ambiance and fragrance it creates in your space.
**7. Monitor the Wax Level:
- Keep an eye on the wax level and the fragrance strength. You can add more pieces if needed or adjust the amount of wax you use based on your preference.
**8. Turn Off the Warmer:
- When you’re ready to stop using the wax melt, turn off the warmer. For tealight warmers, simply extinguish the candle.
**9. Remove and Store the Wax (If Desired):
- If you want to reuse the wax or switch scents, allow the wax to cool and solidify. Once solid, you can remove it from the warmer. For electric warmers, you may need to scoop out the hardened wax.
**10. Clean the Warmer:
- Clean the wax warmer as needed. For electric warmers, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. For tealight warmers, wipe the dish with a cloth to remove any residual wax.
Safety Tips:
- Always use wax warmers according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Never leave a burning tealight unattended.
- Keep wax melts and warmers out of reach of children and pets.
By following these steps, you can enjoy the full benefits of your cuttable wax melts and create a delightful atmosphere in your space!
