Before we dive into how to remove your wax melts, let's have a quick look at when to change them. Kind Melts wax melts are are created with a luxurious coconut wax blend and phthalate free fragrance oils. They are designed to provide a clean and long lasting scent throw. When heated in a wax warmer, the wax melts release the fragrance into the air. When the fragrance has faded it's time to replace your wax melt.


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.


Cleaning Your Wax Melt Warmer.

  • Safety First.

For electric warmers, always unplug the wax warmer from the power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

  2. Clean the dish

    Use a paper towel or tissue to remove any wax that remains in the dish. For any stubborn marks use a damp cloth and soapy water.

  3. Check the dish

    Before each use and after cleaning, carefully inspect the dish for any cracks or chips.

    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.


Cleaning your wax melt warmers regularly will keep it looking and performing at its best.
