Wax Melt Safety & Care
Wax Melt Safety & Care
A few simple steps help you enjoy your fragrance safely and get the best from every melt.
Safety First
Wax melts are for home fragrance use only. Never eat or ingest wax melts, and always follow the instructions supplied with your burner or electric warmer.
Use The Right Burner
Only use a purpose-made wax melt burner or electric wax warmer that is suitable for fragranced wax. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your warmer.
Choose A Safe Position
Place your burner on a stable, level and heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, curtains, soft furnishings and anything that could catch fire.
Never Leave It Unattended
Do not leave a lit tea-light burner or switched-on warmer unattended. Extinguish or switch it off before leaving the room or going to sleep.
Children & Pets
Keep wax melts, burners, candles, cords and hot liquid wax well out of reach of children and pets.
Do Not Overfill
Use a sensible amount of wax for the size of your burner's dish. Never allow melted wax to overflow the bowl.
Tea-Light Burners
Use only the size and type of candle recommended by the burner manufacturer. Never use multiple tea lights or an oversized candle to increase heat.
Electric Warmers
Follow the manufacturer's electrical and heat instructions. Stop using the warmer if the cable, plug or appliance shows signs of damage.
Do Not Move When Hot
Burners and melted wax can become very hot. Allow everything to cool fully before touching, moving or cleaning the warmer.
Using Your Wax Melts
Place a small amount of wax in the dish, then use your warmer as directed. You can continue to remelt the wax until the fragrance has faded. Fragrance strength and longevity can vary depending on the scent, room size, ventilation and the warmer being used.
Do not add water, fragrance oil or other substances to the melted wax unless the warmer manufacturer specifically states they are suitable.
Changing Fragrance & Removing Wax
Switch off or extinguish your warmer and let the wax cool completely before removal. Remove the cooled wax carefully without using anything that could crack, scratch or damage the burner. Clean the dish according to the burner's care instructions before adding a new fragrance.
Storage
Store wax melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, radiators and other heat sources. Keep them in their packaging until you are ready to use them.
Fragrance Information
Fragranced products may contain ingredients that can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Always read and keep the product label and any safety information supplied with your melts.
Skin Contact
Avoid prolonged contact with fragranced wax. If melted wax or fragrance gets on skin, allow hot wax to cool and seek appropriate first-aid advice if needed. Wash fragrance residue from skin.
Stop If Something Looks Wrong
If a burner cracks, overheats, smokes excessively, becomes unstable or otherwise appears unsafe, stop using it immediately and allow it to cool.
