Wax Melt Removal Methods.

• The gentle warming method.

For a quick and simple clean, turn on your wax melt warmer for a short time until the wax begins to slightly melt around the edges. Carefully turn off your wax warmer or extinguish the tea light candle, and the softened wax should easily slide out of the dish with ease.

• The chilling method.

Allow the wax melt to harden completely. Then, place the wax warmer dish in a cool area, such as the fridge for a few minutes. The cold temperature will cause the wax to shrink slightly, allowing it to pop out easily.

• The soak it up method.

Whilst your wax melt is in liquid form allow to cool but not set, ensure your wax warmer is turned off ( or tea light candle extinguished ) and carefully place a folded piece of paper towel or tissue into the dish. The absorbent material will soak up the remaining wax. Dispose of the used paper towel in the general rubbish.

   A damaged wax melt dish can be a fire hazard, allowing wax to leak onto th tealight candle or electric wax warmer. If you find any cracks or damage replace the dish or wax warmer before using again.

4. Dry thoroughly

   Make sure that the dish is completely dry before placing it back on the warmer and adding a new wax melt. wax and water don't mix and cause the hot wax to splash and spatter.

5. Clean the wax warmer exterior

   Wipe down the outside of the wax melt warmer with a soft cloth, if using a slightly damp cloth ensure the wax warmer is fully dry before use.

   Electric warmers: Best cleaned with a dry cloth to avoid getting water into the electrical components.

   Tea light candle warmers: Wipe both the inside and outside of the warmer to ensure no wax has spilt inside.
