Wax melt is just a fragranced candle without a wick, a wax that is well scented that you dissolve in a wax warming gadget. They can run on electricity or can be just a tea light. Once dissolved, wax melts discharges a far more grounded and predictable aroma than a candle. This is because you are liquefying at a higher and more predictable temperature, and you are pulling out the fragrance in the form of vapour.
One of the easiest to use home items globally is the wax melt burner. Most people would argue that there is nothing more complex while using a wax melt burner. We can say; that getting a match stick or lighter and igniting the wax burner is enough to get the job done! But it doesn’t end there. Varieties of gadgets and important home items each have their special ways of applying or using them. You may decide to improvise and be more versatile with them as long as you are well equipped with the proper knowledge needed in handling them. A wax melt burner is no exception, having its own unique forms and different materials it could be made from. The guide you need in using wax melt burners is emphasised below.
- Do not keep a wax melt burner on for a period longer than four hours at a stretch before letting it cool down and lighting it up again.
- Another Important guide in using wax melt burners is that the room needs to be well ventilated. As you observe this, you need to avoid places closer to the air vent or drafts (where there is a stronger air current). A well-ventilated room does not prevent the fragrance from filling the room; instead, it helps purify the air from the toxic contents released into the air through the burning process of the wax.
You should have in mind that as long as you might have to burn one thing or the other in your house, be it wax melts or any other form of incense, they may pose a threat to your health. However, wax melts are made from different materials; some are made from eco-friendly materials like soya beans and they in no way release any toxic residue. Meanwhile, most of the wax products we have out there are made from paraffin, a leftover petroleum product. Paraffin is a highly toxic product processed with even more toxic bleach, which turns it white. This does not mean that the paraffin wax is not usable at home; you only have to be cautious when using them.
- If you are using more than one wax melt burner at a time, you should keep each wax melt burner at least 4 inches farther from each other.
- Never for any reason extinguish a wax melt burner with water. It can result in a chemical reaction that will cause the wax to splatter, thereby cracking or breaking the glass.
- Avoid igniting your wax burners anywhere closer to clothing, cotton blinds, books, or other flammable materials.
- Ensure that your wax melt burner is out and no longer burning before leaving your room or going out of the house.
- Keep all wax burners (both when on and off) out of the reach of children.
