A candle wax warmer is a safe alternative to candles. Not only do they not require a wick or flame to burn, but they are safer around children and can be easily transported.
Candles release toxins that can aggravate allergies and asthma, and they contain wicks that may contain heavy metals. These toxic elements have been linked to cancer and other health issues.
Unlike candles, wax melts don’t release toxins that can irritate your skin and cause respiratory issues. They also don’t produce a large amount of heat, which can be harmful to children and pets.
Wax melts come in various shapes and sizes, so you can get a variety of scents and fragrance intensities for your home. Most come in tart or bar form, but you can also find cubes, which are small pieces of wax.
How to Use a Candle Wax Warmer
To get started, you’ll want to choose a few different wax melts that have the fragrance you like. Then, you’ll need to break them into smaller pieces so that they fit into the dish of your candle wax warmer.
You can use more than one piece at a time, but be sure to place enough to cover the bottom of your warmer and make sure it doesn’t overflow. You can also add more wax melts if you notice that the warmer’s scent starts to fade too quickly.
When the warmer is completely full, turn it off and let it cool down before putting it away. It’s also a good idea to clean it with soap and water before re-filling it with wax melts.
