Kind Melts Wax Melts Information

What are wax melts and how do they work?

Wax melts are a great alternative to scented candles. They provide fragrance to your home or office by warming the wax in a wax warmer, Once the wax melt is in liquid form it releases the scent into the room.

You can turn off your warmer when your happy with the amount of fragrance in the room to save burning off the fragrance. The wax melt can then be used again until the fragrance its burnt off and it loses scent. Unlike scented candles, wax melts do not contain a wick, so there is no naked flame required to distribute the scent.

Wax melts are also ideal as a scent sample to try out different fragrances before purchasing a candle.

Wax melts and safety

Are wax melts safe? Kind Melts uses a natural plant wax and our fragrances are phthalates and paraben free and carefully researched and sourced to avoid potential health hazards. Are wax melts safe around pets? Generally yes, BUT caution is always advised. Pets can have sensitivities to certain scents or ingredients, just like humans. We recommend that you use fragrances products in a well ventilated area, if your pet shows any sign of a reaction discontinue use and consult your vet. If you are aware of any allergies for your pet ( or yourself ) check the CLP/Allergen information on the website which shows the fragrance ingredient/allergens if any. Always store fragranced products away from animals and children.

Using wax melts

How do you use wax melts? To use wax melts place the single wax melt or section of a snap bar wax melt into the bowl of an electric or tea light wax warmer, this melts the wax and the fragrance is released. Kind Melts have a lower melting point than many waxes so fragrance begins to release quickly. Wax melts do not burn off like the wax of a candle, Once the wax melt loses fragrance you remove the wax melt from the warmer and dispose into the general rubbish before replacing with a new wax melt. How long does the wax melts scent last? With each Kind Melts wax melt shape the fragrance should last a minimum of 8 hours. The scent will start by being quite strong and gradually fade over time. Many customers have commented that they get much longer than 8 hours scent from the wax melts but we like to underestimate our timings. To make your wax melts last longer, turn off your wax warmer once you have the desired scent in your space and then reuse as many times as you like until the fragrance has faded. How do I change wax melts? Once your wax melt scent has finished you will want to remove the wax melt from the warmer. The easiest way to remove the melt is to heat the wax slightly, by either turning on the electric warmer or lighting the tea light warmer for approximately 30 seconds. The wax should then easily slide out. Remember never to empty wax into sinks or drains but discard into your general rubbish.
