Enjoy Flame-Free Fragrance with Wax Melts
Wax melts offer a safe, versatile way to fill your space with premium fragrance—no flame required. Whether you're new to wax melts or looking to maximize their performance, this guide will help you get the most from your Halo Candle Co. wax melts.
What You'll Need
• Halo Candle Co. wax melts
• Electric wax warmer or tea light warmer
• Heat-resistant surface
Step-by-Step: How to Use Wax Melts
1. Choose Your Warmer
Electric warmers provide consistent, controlled heat and are the safest option. Tea light warmers work well too but require an open flame. Place your warmer on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from edges and flammable materials.
2. Add Your Wax Melt
Break off 1-2 cubes from your wax melt package and place them in the warmer dish. Start with one cube for smaller rooms, two for larger spaces. You can always add more if you want a stronger scent throw.
3. Turn On and Enjoy
For electric warmers, simply plug in and switch on. The wax will begin melting within minutes, releasing fragrance as it liquefies. For tea light warmers, light the candle beneath the dish.
4. Monitor Fragrance Strength
Wax melts typically provide 8-12 hours of fragrance per cube. When you notice the scent fading, it's time to replace the wax—not add more on top.
Changing Your Wax
Safe Removal Method:
• Turn off and unplug your warmer
• While wax is still slightly warm (not hot), it should pop out easily
• If hardened, turn warmer on for 30-60 seconds to loosen
• Wipe dish clean with a paper towel
• Never pour melted wax down drains
Quick Tip: Place a cotton ball in the warmer dish before adding wax. When it's time to change scents, the cotton absorbs the melted wax for easy, mess-free removal.
Maximizing Your Wax Melts
Scent Rotation: Switch scents based on time of day or mood—energizing citrus for mornings, calming lavender for evenings.
Layering: Combine complementary scents by using half cubes of two different fragrances for a custom blend.
Room Size: Use 1 cube for rooms up to 200 sq ft, 2 cubes for larger spaces.
Warmer Placement: Position warmers in central locations for even scent distribution, away from vents and drafts.
Safety Guidelines
• Never leave warmers unattended for extended periods
• Keep away from children and pets
• Don't add water or other substances to wax
• Use only in well-ventilated areas
• Unplug when leaving home or sleeping (for electric warmers)
Wax Melts vs. Candles: When to Choose Melts
Wax melts are ideal for homes with pets or children, offices where open flames aren't allowed, or when you want to switch fragrances frequently without committing to a full candle burn. They're also perfect for layering scents and experimenting with custom combinations.
Storage Tips
Store unused wax melts in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This preserves fragrance integrity and prevents the wax from softening or melting prematurely.
