How long do soy wax melts last?

The fragrance of a single soy wax melt will last up to 30 days but the strength of the scent throw will lessen over time. To retain the fragrance strength, at the point the room has filled with the fragrance either extinguish the tea light flame if using a manual wax warmer or turn off if using an electric wax warmer.

How do I remove the wax from my wax warmer?

If you wax warmer is on and your wax melt is liquid, you can use cotton balls to absorb the wax. The cotton balls can then be discarded in the bin. Then take a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining oil before replacing your soy wax melt. If your wax warmer is off and your wax is hardened, the easiest way is to turn on the wax warmer to loosen the wax melt so it can be removed as a single solid piece. A scraper can be used to help with this process so you don't burn your fingers; and be sure to take a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining oil before replacing your wax melt.
