About Wax Melts

Wax melts are an alternative to scented candles. They are put in the well of a wax warmer, which can be electric or use tealight candles. The wax heats up and releases scents that will fill the whole room.

To use Ella Rose Scents wax melts, either place one or two wax shapes, or one or two pieces of the snapbars (depending how strong you like the scent) into the well of your wax warmer. If it's an electric warmer, simply switch it on, or if it's a tealight warmer, light a tealight and put it inside the warmer. As they melt, the scent gets released.

Once the tealight goes out or the warmer is switched off, the wax will reharden and can be reused until the scent fades, usually two to three times, depending on the type of wax, scent and warmer, which equals 8 to 12 hours. Some people find the scents aren't as strong when using an electric warmer.

It is highly recommended to only use 4 hour tealights. Larger 8 hour tealights are widely available but can cause the wax to overheat and the warmer could be damaged.

When you want to change your wax melts, there are a few ways to do it. Some people put the warmer dishes in the freezer to loosen the wax, but again, this is not recommended as it can damage the dish.

One way is to start to let them heat up slightly and then they should slide out in one piece. Give the dish a quick clean and you're ready for a new scent.

You could also let them melt completely and then use cotton pads or similar to soak up all the wax. Be careful not to burn yourself with this method.
