We're all familiar with the joys of lighting a candle, but if you've yet to hear of wax melts, here's everything you need to know.
What are wax melts?
Quite simply, wax melts (sometimes known as wax tarts and wax cubes) are a wick-less piece of wax that is melted in a warmer to release its scent. Just like candles, they come in lots of gorgeous scents.
How to use wax melts
Using a wax melt is nice and straight forward. Here's what you need to do:
1) Pop your chosen wax melt into the dish of your burner. Most of the time, you'll only need one but depending on the size, you may need a couple of pieces.
2) If you're using a tea light warmer, light a tea light and put this carefully into the designated hole below the dish.
If you're using an electric warmer, there will be a switch or button to turn it on.
3) Once you've decided you are finished with your wax melt, wait until the wax is in liquid form (you may have to turn it on/light it again if it's already hardened) then pop in a cotton ball or pad to soak up the wax. Wait a few moments and you'll then be able to easily slide out the ball or pad and deposit it in the bin.
4) Wipe the burner dish down with a piece of kitchen roll or damp cloth so it's ready for the next time you use it.
