Soy Wax Melt & Tealight FAQ's

What are soy wax melts?

How do I use wax melts and tealights?

Place one melt in the top of your favourite tealight burner or electric warmer, approved for wax melts.  Always follow manufacturer's instructions for proper usage and safety precautions.

How are soy wax melts different from other wax melts?

Soy wax melts are made from soy wax, a natural and sustainable material, as opposed to paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum. This makes soy wax melts a more eco-friendly option.

Are soy wax melts safe to use?

Yes, soy wax melts are generally considered safe to use. However, it's important to follow the wax warmer manufacturer's instructions for proper usage and safety precautions.

Do soy wax melts produce less soot than other wax melts?

How long do soy wax melts last?

Can soy wax melts be used in any wax warmer?

Yes, soy wax melts are generally compatible with most wax warmers. However, it's advisable to check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure compatibility.

Are soy wax melts biodegradable?

Yes, soy wax is biodegradable, making it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to non-biodegradable waxes.

Can I mix different scents of soy wax melts?

While it's technically possible, it's not recommended to mix different scents as it might result in an unpleasant or muddled fragrance. It's best to use one fragrance at a time.

How do I clean a wax warmer after using soy wax melts?Freezing Method:

Place the wax warmer in the freezer for a few hours. The cold temperature will cause the wax to contract and become brittle, making it easier to break or pop out of the warmer. Once frozen, use a dull knife or spoon to gently pry the wax out.

Heating and Pouring:

Turn on the wax warmer for a short period, just enough to melt the surface of the wax. Carefully pour out the melted wax into a disposable container. Be cautious not to burn yourself, and use oven mitts or a towel for protection. Once the melted wax is removed, wipe the warmer with a paper towel or cloth.

Cotton Ball Method:

After the wax has melted and is still in liquid form, drop a few cotton balls into the wax.  Once the cotton has absorbed the wax, use tongs or a spoon to remove them from the warmer. Wipe off any residue with a paper towel.
