If you've ever noticed that your favourite fragrance doesn't smell quite as strong as it used to, the answer might not be the wax melt at all.
It could simply be time to clean your wax burner.
It might seem like a small task, but regularly removing old wax helps every new fragrance perform at its very best.
Why should you clean your burner?
Each time a wax melt is used, a small amount of fragrance oil remains in the wax. If fresh wax is added on top of old wax, the fragrances can begin to mix together.
While this isn't harmful, it can change the scent you're trying to enjoy.
A clean burner allows each fragrance to shine exactly as it was intended.
It also helps keep your burner looking its best and prevents any build-up from repeated use.
The easiest way to remove old wax
The simplest method is to let the wax cool until it has almost completely set but is still slightly soft.
Gently press the wax with your fingers and it should lift out in one piece.
If the wax has completely hardened, simply warm it for a minute or two, just enough to loosen it, before carefully removing it with a little kitchen paper.
Avoid using sharp objects to scrape the dish, as they may damage the surface of your burner.
Give it a quick wipe
Once the wax has been removed, use a soft piece of kitchen roll or a damp cloth to wipe away any remaining residue.
Your burner is now ready for its next fragrance.
A little tip from Melting Moments 🤍
If you're changing from one fragrance family to another, for example, from a rich autumn spice to a fresh linen scent, cleaning your burner first will help you enjoy the new fragrance exactly as it was designed.
Sometimes the smallest habits make the biggest difference.
A clean burner means a cleaner fragrance, a fresher experience and many more cosy moments to enjoy.
