How to use your wax melts

When it comes to enjoying the delightful scents of Handmade by Tara wax melts, it's important to choose the right wax burner for the best fragrance experience. Our wax melts come in various scents and sizes to fit any burner, giving you the freedom to create a personalised ambiance in your home.

There are two types of burners: tealight burners and electric burners. Each type has its own unique benefits, allowing you to choose the option that suits your preferences and needs.

Tealight Burners

If you opt for a tealight burner, we personally recommend using unscented tea lights that burn for 4 hours. These tealights provide a steady and consistent source of heat, allowing your wax melt to gradually release its aroma and fill your space with a delightful fragrance.

Tealight burners use a naked flame to produce heat, which activates the wax melt and releases its scent. 4 hour tea lights burn for a sufficient amount of time to fully melt the wax and release its fragrance, providing you with a long-lasting and enjoyable experience.

Electric Burners

If you prefer a more controlled and consistent heat source, electric burners are the perfect choice for you. Electric burners use a bulb to provide a constant source of heat, ensuring a steady and even distribution of fragrance throughout your space.

While electric burners may not achieve the peak heat of an initial open flame, they offer the advantage of a longer-lasting fragrance experience. The constant heat provided by the bulb prevents any drop-off in fragrance, allowing you to enjoy the full aroma of your wax melt for an extended period of time.

Whether you choose a tealight burner or an electric burner, Handmade by Tara wax melts are designed to provide you with an invigorating and refreshing home fragrance experience. Select the burner that aligns with your preferences, and let the captivating scents of our wax melts transform your space into a haven of delightful aromas.

How to use

Using the product is simple. Just break off one or two cubes and place them on the wax burner. Then, light an unscented tea light underneath or plug in the burner. The wax will gradually melt, releasing the fragrance of your chosen scent.

To clean your burner, wait for the wax to harden before breaking it up and cleaning the well with a damp cloth. Avoid pouring wax down the sink to prevent blockages. Consider using reusable wax melt liners for easier melt changes.
